    Looks nice man. I've been wanting a C/F hood for awhile but have been worried about how they can get if you don't take care of them right ie waxing like once a week or w/e.

    With a forward facing hood scoop, you collect air and force it into the engine bay. Anytime you push air in, it has to push air out. While it's not like having an intercooler, it will reduce temperatures under your hood.

    You won't have any problems with rain. The scoop is on a downward slope so it will flow down towards your bumper and not up.

    oh ok sounds good. I plan to get one in the next couple months, I really like the way this one looks, which I think is it's main function, looking bad ass.

    Your welcome. I've been adding a lot of CF to my tC as well, really dress it up very nicely. A suggestion, can you come up w/ a really nice rear diffuser for the tC's ABS plastic and CF?
