Default WRX Hood Scoop

What do you guys think of this idea? How bout a WRX scoop on a Cherokee. It has a baffle that would re direct rain and snow.

The hell with doing a mock up just tape off your hood and start cutting. Then post pics

I have always liked this style scoop. It is not to big and kind of adds a sporty look. Unfortunately it may be a while, maybe like next spring. I live in CO and it is coming into snow season. Plus my apartment does not have garages and they don't like it when I run an extension cord out the second floor window and down to the parking lot. Total bummer! But I will post pics and do a write up. Maybe we will get a weekend without the white stuff and when a friend will let me use his garage/driveway. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Lulz. Then they should install a @(#&**ed outlet outside!

I like this scoop a lot more than the Lebaron vents I see around, but I'm not sure how it would flow with the hood on an XJ. Do it and let's find out.

I still like the Le Baron vents. Unless you made that functional, I wouldn't bother. JMO!

The WRX hood is flat where the scoop mounts. I don't see how you can make it work (and look good) on the XJ hood, because of the indent running the length of the hood without some serious fabrication.

I thought of that, not sure it I am going to fill it in with Bondo, or fab up some sheet metal.

MacGyver could make it work with popsicle sticks, duct tape and one rubber band. So get to work!

Im curious to see it sitting on the hood.
