Is there a good shop in calgary that will cut the whole in my hood for a scoop?

It could end up being cheaper just to buy a new hood w/ scoop attached.

Go to ebay, 20 dollar scoop..... go buy a 15 dollar metal cutter.

*cut cut cut*

*insert scoop*

*apply duct tape*

Voila! hood scoop!

what colour is the impreza? maybe try a hood swap with someone who has a front mount intercooler and doesnt need the scoop anymore, or look for a part out on nasioc of a crashed car maybe.

:dunno:

don't insult the suby with a cheap ebay hood scoop!

i can get a wrx scoop for like $80
Some one told me it would be around $200 to have in cut into my hood.. is that wrong?

I have a Black wagon :)


a CF hood would be nice but they are like $600+ from what i have seen

the TS hood weights a ton.. definately get a wrx hood if you can.

why do you want a hoodscoop? turbo?

I think it would cost more than $200 to get a hole that looks like this in your hood:

i really have no idea i thought it might be cheaper to have it cut in. i do have that indent part where the hood scoop goes..

I just want it for look.. and maby get a air box at some point that acutly uses it.
i dont know if that is a good or bad idea. i know next to nothing about it :)

I have seen thoese stick on ones you can get on ebay for like $20 thats weak tho

i have had the car for a month and the guy i bought it off said he shoped around and a shop in calgary said it would cost about $200 to have the hood scoop put in... but he did not rember what shop

Your probably better off checking out suby classified, ebay, etc. for a complete WRX hood.
If you find one that's dirt cheap, just have it repainted to match your car.
