Saw this when I was at the mall today. They did a horrible job blending that scoop to the hood. Not that they should have even tried of course.

 

work is terrible on the blending, but the scoop isnt terrible.. if it 'cowled' up in the back a lil less, and had one small slit type opening, or none at all, it would look pretty neat.

 

I can just imagine the VW V-DUB bikini girl... "it's really sucking"

 

Sorry but tibs aren't supposed to have nostrils!!!

 

^^^^agreed, I like the scoops that mwood and caj have on their cars but this is hideous imo.

 

I dunno, I think the tiburon looks good with a hood scoop. I have one on mine. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/D...ed/100_3863.jpg But I don't think that looks right on that tib. It is just not part of the car.

Maybe if he lowered it and put a bumper or a lip on the car. It just dosn't flow because the needle nose on the front makes it look like there's nothing under the scoop.

 

workmanship sucks, but the scoop is kinda cool

 

a scoop is meant for two things. to make room for a high rise intake (which we all know this doesnt have) or to provide air to enter from either the front (no openings) or the back (cowl hood). if this doesn't have a opening in the back, it was totally a waste of money, which i am pretty sure it is. if he actually cut a hole in the hood to provide heat to escape, then kudos to him.

 

^^ Yep.
Scoops can work on Tiburons (DTN, yours is definitely acceptable), and that one could too. However, the 'notstrils' need to be fixed (or just opened), the front of it has to flow better (fiberglass) and it has to be for a reason (turbo, ITB, or large IM).
How he has it now is just gross.

 

Blending aside I think it really suits the car. If it was done a bit cleaner it would be one of the nicest style hoods I have seen on a tib to date.
