07 2.5i with WRX hood?
I was thinking of either puting a wrx hood or a Seibon carbon wrx like hood. I have 2 questions on this matter :
1) Do you think its inappropriate for a non turbo to have a hood scoop? Is this ricer-ish?
2) Would having a hood scoop on a NA engine actually cause engine damage because of all the rain that would go on the engine?

1.) maybe
2.) i doubt it...the 2.5rs had a scoop and even vents at one point so water was getting in there...
i love the 2.5rs hood i just wish someone made one in the '06-'07 style

heh if i was good with carbon fiber i would so make one and start selling them...but alas...i have never even worked with carbon fiber so i can't even fab one up...but i think i know someone who might be able to help me

I think if the scoop was on par with wrx then it wouldn't be all that ricer-ish, but if you went with an exagerated scoop then i'd have to call you out
and don't forget the old NA's had scoops

are you serious? i WANT to have an sti, why dont i go buy one? because i cant afford it man. but other than that i really just like the look. i havent decided yet if its worth putting one on though just for the look. didnt they used to come stock on the n/a's? but i have to agree with pope 06 for the fact that we dont have the top mounts so performance wise it doesnt really help. i guess it just depends on what the driver likes

meh i wouldn't put an STi/WRX hood scoop on...i really like the LGT scoop better...it's very stealthy looking...if i was to get a hood for my car it would be with a scoop like that

i just took the sat's yesterday and one of the questions on it was: what do you think of when you see a wrx hood on a n/a impreza?
my answer: a bowl of rice =]
just some humor you guys

lol hey if you took my idea...you could turn the scoop into an intake...and i actually have a design for it...but im not lazy to attempt it, that and the ECU might freak out with that much air at high speeds...just a thought
