wow, i really like how it came together. i'm assuming that's the accolade MS front, right? i'm still not sold on the hood scoop but i think it's just b/c it's different and i could see it growing on me. very nicely done.

you thought correctly!


I saw the scoop on the mazdaspeed concept and I was hooked on day one!

Great looking scoop, Drew!

What brand is it? Where did you find one that fit so well?

it doesnt really have a brand?


i bought it off a guy on the net who fabricates fibreglass parts.

there was also a carbon option but since it was getting panted and weight was minimal, i went for the fibreglass one.

fit perfectly! Just had to cut a hole into the hood to make it "functional"

OMG that hood is pure sex!! Loved it when I first saw the concept, too. Major kudos! There are actually a few things that I wouldn't do with mine (not that I could afford any of that) but they're so easy to overlook when the car looks that good!

Now I'm just going to throw in a bunch of exclamation points cuz your 8 is sick!
