Scoopless Hood for MY05
�
�
I have an 05 STi, just ordered a FMIC, and would like to ditch the scoop on the hood. I'd rather not go to the Subaru 2.5RS hood because of the weight, but does anyone know if a carbon fiber one is made? Thanks for any help in advance.

How about the reverse hood scoop? They come in CF and look nice.
| scobaru | 11-26-2004 04:16 AM |
the only scoopless hood's I've seen that are carbonfiber were made over sea's in japan and that was for the 99 impreza's....
| Randman | 11-26-2004 07:28 AM |
I was fearing that there wouldnt be any, just hard for me to believe that nobody makes one for the new 2.5RS, I just dont want the scoop if there is no functionality, then I just turn into another mustang on the road.
Who makes the reverse scoop hood, I dont believe I've seen it?

Braille battery for $157 (-21 lbs) + RS hoodswap for free (or get them to buy you the battery) = your answer.

actually the scoop would still be functional in the sense that it would reduce heat soak.

i got a stupid question, what happen if it rains? the water will go directly to the engine bay???

[QUOTE=got_WRX?]i got a stupid question, what happen if it rains? the water will go directly to the engine bay???[/QUOTE]
yep. but it's just the same as driving down the road with a normal scoop. it won't hurt anything. you'll probably have less water getting in while driving too as a function of the new vent.
[B]broadfield[/B] -that is one clean ride. very nice.

The Cusco lip looks hot... I'd do aftermarket body parts, but I'm just afraid the paint shop wouldnt be able to match the WR blue very well.
| spankaveli | 11-27-2004 05:19 PM |
why not just get an 05 RS hood and get it painted? :o
| broadfield | 11-27-2004 07:26 PM |

Because then it would look like an RS......plain!

We just put an RS hood onto a 2004 STI that had a front mount intercooler. You may worry about weight, but when the two pieces were weighed there was only a difference of 7 lbs. The STI hoodscoop is very heavy.
| Randman | 11-28-2004 12:57 AM |
I would just go with an RS hood, but again, I'm afraid of not getting a perfect paint match. Wish someone made one in CF...
| markadopolus | 11-28-2004 01:23 AM |
when you get a new hood, I can take your scoop off your hands ;)
| piker28 | 11-28-2004 02:29 AM |
as others said simple things and you make up for the weight of the rs hood (battery change and spare tire removal, etc..)
i dont see a problem with paint matching with a good body shop

i�ve been trying to find vendors and others to make a cf rs-styled hood for the bugeye for some time now and i haven�t been able to find anyone. i figure if the demand is enough for both the old and new models gdbs, maybe someone would make one sometime.

I shop alot at Super Autobacs in Orange County Ca. I,ve seen a carbon fiber
replacement hood for the 04/05 STi there. I don't know what manufacture
makes it but you could contact them by phone, (714) 903-9900

| XS_WRX | 11-29-2004 12:58 AM |
why not just get a carbon fiber hood made for the 2.5 rs? or aluminum/fiberglass for that matter?
| Diabolical1 CC | 11-29-2004 01:00 AM |
why wouldn't the scoop on an 05 STi be functional?
| sanremors | 11-29-2004 06:08 PM |
I have an 04 RS hood 4 sale in San Remo Red. No dents. Its not that heavy compared to the WRX hood, which I have now. I live in LI, NY. E-mail me if interested: [email][email�protected][/email]
