Is it going to be functional or just for looks?

Best mentality to have while modding a car.

Kinda curious to see how it'd look. I mean, I can prolly photoshop it, but if you're gonna do the real thing, then I can wait.. lol

Hurry and post pics!

Hater's gonna hate.

Stupid looking "mod" will be stupid.

You are aware those scoops are for the top mounted intercoolers right? Do you plan on taking off your entire intake system and sticking your filter to the throttle body to make it theoretically functional?

Heh, air on the engine is never a bad thing, find a way to filter water out and your golden.

Gonna look gay as hell. Might as well throw an Sti wing on while you're at it, or the tail section of a Cessna.

Not a huge fan of this idea.

lol, just by the title I knew this was going to be "one of those threads"

Nothing wrong with trying something a bit different, worst case scenario, it looks terrible, you buy a new hood and flip the ruined one to a ricer.

VTEC-4.0

You know when I hit 4000 RPM I want as much airflow I can get to the engine when the VTEC kicks in.lol.I wanna see it.

Just a little more to add to this; although you are right about this, my friend has a 2004 ish outback 'sport' that is non turbo, and came stock with a hood scoop and gills...totally non-functional...but someone at subaru thought it was a good idea lol

coupedeill

Not crazy or impossible, almost anything can be done whether it should be done is the question. If you think so... do it, have fun with it, fuc the haters.

Reminds me of this old "civaru" thread on another forum. '92 Eg body on an '04 wrx. That was a crazy build to follow...

tipnitty

There are many reasons for that. They possibly only produced the one hood from the factory or the car was ordered with that option. But in your friends scenario, its pointless, but it belongs there given the nature of a subaru.

Well I took a look at the photos and think it looks a little crazy. But **** how could I **** this car up anymore I mean its an automatic 05 Honda civic. And besides I thought this was all supposed to be about fun.

MindBomber

I know someone who put a lot of time into molding an Sti rear diffuser into a civic rear bumper. Modding cars is about putting your own personal touch on a vehicle, paint it pink and paint rainbows on it if it makes you happy. Who cares if people hate on it, it's your car, not theirs.

Hmm.. rainbows?!

tipnitty

**** this car up more? The car was built to be reliable from point A to point B. Honda had no intent for the EM2 to be a show or race car. They are meant to be left alone and remain dependable for years to come.

You want a fun car? Buy an si model or an rsx-s that's meant to go fast"er". You want really fun? Sell your "****ed up" civic and buy an ls1 F-body car. You seem to pretty clueless when it comes to vehicles. Might I suggest you do a lot of research before you plan on modifying any car.

OW Tipnitty you bad.

It was actually a disappointment, cause when I saw it, I thought he had and outback with a turbo, but I was wrong, which leads me to my next point: Avoid adding "go fast" body parts to the car unless it actually goes fast lol...although I've kinda broken that rule a bit myself.

Balzdpr

These are two pictures witht he scoop just sitting on the hood. trying and playing with position. Come on.. Lets hear it.

That's not my style but you do have to appreciate the amount of body work gone into it. That being said, I'd NEVER buy it.

I love that car. How much does the seller want for it? And tipnitty...

Ill figure something out with it.
