Gimmie Gears Prova Hood installed

That is about the nicest aftermarket hood I've seen. I like the stock headlights better though.
atf78 07-02-2003 08:35 AM

Thanks. That answered all my questions, now I just need some money :(

Looks awesome Eric! Sucks it was just a few days late of the show, I would have loved to have seen it in person.
Greg ;)
AaronC 07-02-2003 03:57 PM

I just got mine in today, and the body shop said it was the best fitting aftermarket hood they have ever seen. It will cost around $500 for all the prep work. But it looks awesome! They packed it well too!

What front mount do you have?

There are no pin holes when you get the hood. You can get them drilled though.

That it would be. I followed Chris "ConeBasher" around the track a couple of times and "tried" to stay with in 5 seconds of his times. It never happened. Thanks for the video Rich.
WRX Ver.7 07-03-2003 05:08 PM

The last picture has been Photochopped I think to remove the side vents and intake creases. The top 3 pics is what the hood looks like. Reason i know this is because the last pic (with black outline) is also of my hood.
SLowery 07-04-2003 04:58 PM

sorry to stray, but what kind of front lip is that and is it CF?
DDMan 07-04-2003 06:16 PM

YIKES....That car just looks mean.:eek:
Joe Newbie 07-04-2003 08:33 PM

I almost feel guilty for thinking of doing this without having mad mods, but it's so damn cool I have to ask, and my "name" _is_ Newbie....

Will that hood, with the scoop so far forward and down, work Ok with a mostly stock engine?
digitaltekniq 07-04-2003 10:03 PM

From this pic, it looks like it would meet up with the stock
TMIC - not sure how efficient it would be given that there are heat extractor sections, which is perfect for front mounters.

YOu could anways get the original Prova hood, which is Carbon Fiber, and not a replica. Of course it will cost you $2500+shipping from Japan. :)

I emailed prova a while ago (I also posted this on WRXTuner's thread), and this is what prova told me:
[QUOTE]
Hello,
Thank you for your email.
You can puchase the hood. The hood is 380,000yen .
It's about $3,160.And it will cost shipping charge $400-$500.
and it is not painted.

If you want to order ,you have to pay in advance.

Thank you,

[/QUOTE]

Just fyi ;)

p.s. according to Imprezer (owner of that other i-club), the hood is hand-laid fiberglass, not CF.... :confused:
Handsdown 07-07-2003 06:31 PM

that hood makes those morettes look good.

IBidon't like it without one or the other
Skibbi9 07-08-2003 08:51 AM

I really love that hood, makes it look like a much more aggressive car..

Common questions: will it work with a TMIC, its only 02/03 right?

total cost? 700 (parts) + 800 (paint/install?)
WRX Ver.7 07-08-2003 09:20 AM

Jedi: I am kind of unsure on your post. Pontiac makes nothing that even resembles this look.
BigGreen: It does on a regular basis:)
25RS: Thanks
Skibbi9: Yes it works with TMIC. The factory splitter can be installed on it and it is for the 02-03 body. Price on paint and install is probally different every place you look.
JDMpreza 07-08-2003 05:23 PM

you should sell me your stock hood. :D
Dick Fitzwell 07-17-2003 12:59 AM

yeah whatever eric:p

you really have to see this hood in person to appreciate it...hell, the car too!

For some reason it just doesnt look he same.

i remember drooling over this hood when i saw pics like a year ago.... i wonder how much the CF is going to cost, i need to save my pennies for one of these babies.
Maicca 08-03-2003 07:26 AM

That hood looks awesome! Can't wait until the CF version is out...

I hope it fits the oversized TMICs out there :confused:

It does. I have the APS TMIC and also the APS splitter which seals it to the hood (nice piece, BTW). Here is a link to how I adapted the splitter to accomodate stealth IC spray nozzles:
