Hood scoop finally installed

[Atreyus]

Took two and a half years but I finally did it. Had to sell mine before with everything just needed paint, then went back at it again and now it's completed.

I'm pretty sure a sport hood is on my to-do list. I'm secretly hoping I can find an OEM one that's already painted the right color and everything, since I need Thundercloud....and it's a really popular sport model color. But I doubt anyone with a thundercloud sport is just going to want to up and sell their hood.

Which certifit did you go to in SD? Did you just walk in and they had them in stock, or did they have to order?

I'd call before you go into any Certifit, and ask them to hold it for you if you decide to go down there. They had one left when I was on my way home from San Diego.

How did you get it home? did you get it installed at the Certifit?

folded my seats down and fits perfectly fine in the back, installed it with my mom and dad lol. They held it while I bolted it right up.

Did you just bring the hood to Maaco off the truck?

Yup, had them blast the hood and scoop separately, it was done in only a day.

Sweet. I've been debating weather or not I want to take it to a "quality" shop or just have a place like Maaco do it. Im thinking maaco now...

Yeah I thought the same thing but I don't have $600+ to get a really good paint job lol and for what I paid it came out pretty good.

Im sure if you found someone locally with the sport hood, and gave them 400$ + swap the hoods, they would have done it and you'd have an oem hood. Your moulded scoop, although looking good for what it is, just looks off to me. But, if you like it thats what really matters.

Not sure if its easy to find someone with an OEM scooped hood to swap with...!

All the photos I've seen with people who bought the Certifit hoods, you cannot tell the difference.
