Interference with oem duct?
I'm curious about the heat vent on the passenger side. Looking at the inner side of this prova-style hood, it seems that parts of the passenger side heat vent is very close to where the oem air intake duct is (not seen in the pictures shown above; it's the ram scoop piece that mounts slightly above the radiator and enters the fender).
Can you confirm whether or not this custom hood interferes with the oem intake duct?
Thanks.

Will you please give this hood a name of it's own? It looks nothing like the Prova hood. btw, I have nothing to do with any hoods anymore, so please don't think this has to do with the "other" hood.

I don't want to give date because of what has happened in the past, I can say this, that is the final prototype and we expect to begin production next week.
Also you haven't seen the carbon fiber version because it's cheaper to mess up a fiber glass hood then a carbon one, we wanted to make sure the mold was right before we started in with the expensive stuff ;)
I know it has been a while just bare with us a little bit longer and you will have what you want :)
Also if you guy's want to discuss problems you have had with others do it somewhere else other then here, Please :)

I have one in my possession..
Its being detailed and painted this week...Great looking.for sure..I think part of the problem was a switch in production shops mid way through the process..I don't think its as easy as alot of people think to get a new product from design to production to sales...Everyone including the company manufacturing were going on BEST case senarios...and thats alway dangerous...But as a non ivolved party who knows the developer..It does seem very close to realization... Hope its soon for those who want it...
How bout calling the hood "GPRally "??? or MOTO-Rally

Yes it does you will need to remove it when you install the hood :)
However if you get the hood and you add the GP-Moto $49 silencer elbow that replaces the stock silencer and acts kind of like a cold air for your factory air box you wouldn't need to use the stock ram scoop, or if you got the GP-Moto $110 shipped short ram air intake it would also solve this issue ;)

The average OK carbon fiber hood is $550 + shipping The average GOOD carbon hood is $650 the AWSOME ones are around $800 to $1000.
This is a totally different style with a whole lot more work into them IMHO. This hood will blow away even the best of the regular ones that are around! and you can if you want get the fiber glass version for $700 + shipping.
What other hoods on the market DON'T require you to use hood pins, or even better yet which one's even have heat shielding to protect your investment from warping in a year or so?
Answer: None! except this one ;)
We have taken a while to get this thing done, I know, but would you rather have settled for a piece of SH$$T or somthing that is going to rival even OEM quality?

That hood reminds of the Cobb tuning hood scoop, just this is like you took their scoop and morphed it with the stocker. I don't know, i just dont like it. I think that all imprezas should have the stock style scoop though, it just seems right that way. I wish the RS would still have the scoop and vents despite the lack of intercooler, but thats just me. ;)
i like to see inovation in hoods though

I think that the reason you guys don't like it, is because its so plain on there. I think it is a beautiful hood, but just is different without all the Eifel wrx's stickers, etc. About how much will the fiberglass one be? And I just sent you an email to put me on the list. Depending on the price difference, I may go CF and paint it. Thanks!

Sorry about this. I will PM SonicYelloWRX and ask him to delete his post on your thread and suggest that he start a new thread if he would like to push our product.

I think if you suggest he start a new thread you will be breaking the vendor rules. Whatever, you have been subtley breaking them for a while now, why stop now! :)
PS neither hood looks right. neither hood looks like the prova hood. neither hood has the advantages of prova's wind tunnel testing nor are they advantageous for weight savings. Maybe someone will do it right and make a 100% pure dry carbon hood with NO FIBERGLASS at all but I doubt it. These hoods are non functional rice accessories.

I ROBOT..
I had no idea you were in the Bushwacker Factory where this hood was designed to know the exact procedures with which it was designed....Thanks for enlightening us with your knowledge. Seems to me that first if you are going to take a chance at designing and producing a new product you might want to try it first in glass to get a public response as to how it may sell in Carbon...Thats good business sense..If the market is there...then you take the dive into 100% pure dry carbon, which the origonal Prova is not...Then what do you have ?? A 100% pure dry carbon rice accessory hood...for alittle over 1K.
And if thats what people want, why should you care ?? Its all a matter of choice. Many people believe that just by owning a Subaru your a Ricer...Why are you joining into that mentality??

I find all of this s h i tt funny. I am so glad I got out of this crap. My personal opinion is that this hood looks like kids were playing with cardboard and tape. But, that is just an opinion. It's mine, not yours. Ha ha ha. I ROBOT has seen first hand what the composites industry is like and is quite wise to stay the hell out of it. ;)

Man your mothers would be having a slapping fest...
If only your mothers could see this I think all of you would have red cheeks.

I don't mind if you all hate the hood, or love the thing, you are more then welcome to coment on the hood just stop bashing each other please!

What good is the internet for then? :lol:
You are right. I actually came back to the thread just to unsubscribe, but couldn't help myself.

I guess your right...
Everyone is entitled to thier opinion...Its just that I've seen Sean working many nights past 9 or 9:30 pm after working all day ..working his Butt off trying to make this hood right...Kinda sucks to see people calling it a piece of crap..

Brucelee is right. The airflow will be deflected. If that flat spot were a smooth curve, the air would travel along it, right into the scoop. Instead, it will stay on it's path, and go up, blocking any air coming straight at it. It will still get air, it would just get more were it a smooth curve. If you still can't picture it, try it on a smaller scale, or try it with something else. Like a skateboard ramp. If it cuts off, you eill stay on your current path, and catch some air. If you make the ramp roll over on top, you have to actually exert energy to get over it. However, without the extra energy, you will stay on the ramp, all the way up and over the roll.
Another way to think about still involves wind. Think of a field. You can see the wind roll over the hills in the field. Yet, if there is a short choppy hill, or tree that fell over, etc., there is a spot behind it that the wind does not hit. Same thing with your design.
I know this is lengthy, but not everyone can understand things the same way.

By the way, it is not a bad-looking design, but it would look better in its more functional, rounded form.

Totally. I am a physics major, and have taken some aerodynamics courses in college. There is a major design flaw with your hood. If you can't understand what we're talking about, maybe you're in the wrong field of work? [/B][/QUOTE]
Simply put:
You don't have a wind tunnel and you don't have the hood. If you want to prove your "theory" then buy one and prove it. Until this time it's all speculation on your part. The hood on the vehicle has proven to efficiently cool the intercooler and has proven as well to remove much of the heat from under the hood.
GP Moto is not just some fly by night company with no experience in body styling products. They are affiliated with Bushwacker that makes OEM body styling kits for large car companies and knows what they are doing. I have every bit of confidence in their product and know that what you are saying is not true and is speculation on your part(s). So until you have the facts please refrain from saying that you know it all because you don't!
Don't mean to be a prick but you asked for it.

aerodynamics and the world we live in.
Looks like we have some major problems with a hood we have never tested, right everyone! NOBODY has tested this hood am I correct!
Well it has been tested in the current form.......
And for the Physics majors and that guy that took a class on aerodynamics you all get C's for basic airflow theory.
and you get F's for real world functionality and maybe even an incomplete because you didn't finish observing the parts at hand.
The crease:
Put there intentionally. Would have been just as easy to give it a bulge....
The crease does create a low pressure behind it, but HOW BIG of one is a Question of functionality. How big should it be? How about proportional to the flow rate of the vanes of the intercooler or slightly higher, so how about tuning the loss to speed resulting in consistant and equal airflow over the intercooler at any speed with a low coefficient of drag. More later but for now here are some computer drawings to get you thinking again.
