    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.



    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.
