how retarded! that seems like a JC Whitney product. Add a couple of stickers and you could be up 20hp!
I saw a Prelude, the last one, with full WRX trim. that included the hood scoop, fender flares, big fog lights and some custom blue paint. I was thinking to myself that if he sold his Prelude and used the money he used for all those mods, he could have gotten a real WRX in the first place. Too bad I don't have a digital camera.

that hood scoop is not just there for looks, its very important to engine performance, the intercooler and engine needs to be cooled down. n/a car having hood scoops is just a joke! hhahahahahaha hondas with hood scoops? lol.

How much drag do you guys think that thing generates? I mean, if it's not functional, isn't it kinda like putting a mini-parachute on your hood?

not really, u see those muscle cars with big blocks sticking out of their hoods?? there cars are still 10, 9 second cars, the hoodscoop wont effect drag becaue its not going 500mph. at most itll be 160mph about and thats not fast enough to have a hoodscoop decrease performance, its actually giving the engine more air to have more power. more power will over power wind. ;) thats wat im thinking.
