I'm terrible at following directions. Sunroof: yes Hood scoop: get one from a t3, and make it work as a legit one. |

i forgot to say that I cant give up my GTi hood... if i do a T3 scoop it will have to be a cut and paste job... this will be N/A engine..... For now so it will be tough to make it work as a legit scoop... but i understand your theory.what about the Paint scheme, black Stripes, black flames, ghost flames in a reasonable color or leave it alone? |

I'm not good at these trick questions and opinion polls Vote on it. If you have A/C the sunroof will be an alternative to the A/C or just a fashion statement. I like it as a fashion statement and it could cut down a little on the A/C power drain but add a little drag which is not conductive to "go fast."VOTE ON IT either semi gloss black Flames to the fenders and might be going to the doors (by a flame artist) or Raceing stripes... also in black.... im open also to Ghost flames (in a reasonable color) I'd make it your resume - you work in a body shop - do your best talents on your car and expand your skills. If this is going to go fast a hood scoop shouldn't cause to much turbulence or drag, if small and it will add attitude. I think this project deserves it's own thread BTW.

Sunroof - Yes. I have found them to be the next best thing to a convertible and considerably more convenient to open/close. Hood scoop - Sure, I like the look of the t3 ones. I find myself liking the asymmetry a lot. Paint - Buff it out and leave it alone. In my opinion a shiny red car will draw more than enough attention just becasue it's red. On the other hand as BB points out here is your chance to show your skills. Just keep in mind that the more you showcase your skills, the more you will have to restrict the action of your right foot or you may end up afoot... Edited by idmetro, Nov 5 2010, 04:55 AM.

Absolutely not on the sunroof. My personal opinion is to keep the color the same, color change never works out well unless you strip it all the way to the frame and put that on a rotisserie. Hood scoop must be something small and tasteful and must be functional or it's B/S. T3 scoop right behind the right headlight is nice. |

Thanks Woodie... im starting to think the sunroof would be a bad idea as well. my self and dad have installed a coupple. and in his words "they last about 2-3 years then they leak like a stuck hog" Yea im not gonna change the color... just thinking about adding either some flames or Raceing Stripes im just gonna buff the collor back cus i simi buffed a small spot back and i really like the collor (so dose my ex girlfriend who found me on Youtube and decided to try to comunicate with me. and i want nothing to do with her) The T3 scoop idea behind the headlight is a DAMN good idea... i may look into this. got any pics of this??? or will i be the first? i love the input guys THANKS |

I've seen a nice setup with a scoop just behind the passenger side headlight, and then a cone filter on the end of the intake so it can pull cool air in through it, you could even box it in to keep it from pulling hot engine air into it. My car looked like that too, I hit it with some rubbing compound, then polish, then wash/wax and it looked 100% better.

Sunroofs are great if they don't leak. For what it's worth The one in my 95 was installed after it was a year old and still does not leak after all these years. If you take your time and prep it why should it leak? Providing the main seal doesn't get damaged. I'm going today to get my new/used one from the JY before someone else gets it! |
