Hood scoop flew off!

yeh so im driving down the highway and my hoodscoop flys off my 04' WRX. I never touched it since i owned the car which has been for over 2 years now. If anyone can help me out with a good place to get a new one or if you wanna get rid of yours for an STi one then let me know. Its a regular WRX non STi, Java black pearl....Thanks

To bad you didn't have a video cam mounted in the car to catch the action. I bet you it looked crazy.

Im sorry to hear an hopefully nothing was damaged and you can find a new scoop at a good price.

on another note, I laughed pretty good when I read this. Imagine being the guy behind you, probably took a dump in his pants.

update:

i do have a new scoop and when i examined everything it was clear that i was missing a few bolts to hold the scoop in place that i never knew of. It was almost as if someone set me up for the scoop to fly off...who knows. The car was used when i bought it and i never bothered to check it after two years of ownership. It shouldnt happen again...lol
