ram air scoop mod
shietty pics but a friend of mine recently carbon kevlar'd his ram air scoop (that is what it's called right?) himself and i thinkit looks clean. so what you guys think?
Looks nice! But pardon if I'm wrong, I don't think ram air does anything on FI cars - the boost control will interpret increased manifold pressure as overboosting and compensate to maintain the boost target

It's real Carbon Kevlar FYI. I think it has some artistic value which some people might think thats better then a visual mod that has no artictic value like a short ram with out a tune right? At least it's a VF30 w/ a stock intake to add a visual touch to it right? i think if you guys came over and took a look you just might like it cause i think it adds a touch of personal pride for me to create my own piece over a well designed factory intake system that subaru spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours to perfect and besides carbon kevlar and resin acts like thermo wrap doesen't it? on and i think hours or pride to create a custom kevlar piece it still better then rich boys droping a few thousand dollars on the most expensive stuff and think hes got taste. Humm decoration ProjectWRX? Post some pics of what you got.

^ I like it. I never thought it was a sticker like someone had said. It's pretty obvious the difference between sticker and real. I love kevlar. I had a one-off kevlar hood on my older car. Cost a pretty penny, but the quality and look was incredible. I've always wanted a kevlar hood for my WRX, and slap some gold wheels on. Pure hotness!
