Gauging interest... 04 Sti hood scoop to fit older Impreza part 1

Gauging interest... 04 Sti hood scoop to fit older Impreza
Fiberglass mold of the 2004 STi style hood scoop
but made to fit the older model imprezas...

these scoops would come unpainted,
but option for painting will be made avialable ($70 additional)

To be frank and honest,
price of the scoop itself is an issue though :(
I cannot find a way to get them here &
made available for less than $200.00 -

what is this item worth to everyone?
what would you pay for it?

we have a supplier and can import them,
but not if the cost + freight is going to leave
them sitting on the shelf.

thank you for your feedback.
regards,
Jamie

Hood Scoop
I really love the look of the new scoop. $200 plus $70 is a lot of clams though. I'd say $200 to $225 PAINTED would be just about right.

thank you for the feedback

see, the underlying issue is that OUR COST nears the $200 mark
:(

so you see, there is no way that $225 painted can be attained
with the current source for these scoops....

I agree $200 unpainted is to high. I'd say find someone state side to make them then sell them for a little more than the older STI scoops. I would buy the new style over the old if that were the case.

any idea on the height difference compared to the stock rs hood?

~200 isn't bad the other larger scoop for the rs is 134 unpainted. So depending on quality/increased size, price would be negotiable.

200 is a little high, but I do agree that this scoop matches the GC body lines very well. I would love one of these for my car, but alas 200 unpainted is a little steep.
heffergm 08-28-2003 11:29 AM

Considering that you can get the old style STi scoops for $175 painted, $270 is on the far side of being realistic.
A moderate price increase for the novelty of sticking an '04 scoop on an '02/'03 is probably worth a slight markup, but not $100 worth.
AllSubaru.com 08-28-2003 12:04 PM

i agree and that's why we've not bothered importing them...

MRT is rumored to be nearly finished with their attempt at this... with a retail price near $195 unpainted..... :(

the company i'm dealing with is not affiliated with MRT...
so that's 2 options... both at the same price range.

bit sad really.... but i'll keep searching for another option.

thanks gang.

What about an 04 STi scoop for the 02-03 WRX? Anyone know of a source?

that's gonna be pretty much along the lines of what we're talking about here...

mrt is working on this replica/design
cost rumored to be $199ish...

how differant are the mounts between the two? What keeps you from just taking the real deal and bolting it on?

hi there.
great idea but the 2004/sti hood scoop is a completely different dimension than the 2002/03 WRX hood scoop.

Not only is it taller etc. but its wider and longer...
the entire hood cutout differs from the previous Imprezas.

Thsi has already been done by someone in Europe. Check here for more info.:

I believe someone on this board, dutch555 is going to try and get them here as well. $195 shipped unpainted, so more or less I guess it is near the same price.

Chris... aka Dutch555 to the rest of you, is who i've been dealing with :) so yep... as you can see $195ish is likely the going price... and that's unpainted gang...

Jamie do you know the height dimensions vs. stock vs. MRT (which I know is 10mm or 3/8ths Inch. taller than OEM and $192 Australian.

AllSubaru.com 08-29-2003 01:02 PM

well that's the old design...
not 100% on the measurements

that scoop is the 2002/03 "sti" replica.
should retail around $124 us or $160-70ish painted.

what you have pictured there is not the 2004 Sti replica... :(

I know it's not the Sti replica I was just using it for height compaison, sorry for the confusion
