is it functional?

00black_civic 02-24-2004 09:23 PM

Whats it made of?

xmodsman 02-24-2004 09:25 PM

plastic

00black_civic 02-24-2004 09:27 PM

So its not bondo or modeling clay. I might consider one. Does it seem to keep the motor cooler?

neurokinetik 02-25-2004 08:18 AM

I merged the two threads you created about this. One will suffice.

You did a nice job on it, but it should be smaller, as many have pointed out. It might also look better if you round and clean up the edges of the plastic at the opening.

2fast4u 02-25-2004 10:46 AM

i make mine from aluminum on floppy disks i have one in the makin ill finish it as soon as my dremel charges

xmodsman 02-25-2004 03:27 PM

ok thanks all

um i might put it on ebay.

and i didnt put it on becuase some people said it was too big. If you did cut a hole in the roof im sure it would cool down the engine.

thanks again,
Marc



P.s. im making it smaller.

what would people be willing to pay for this ?

http://img26.photobucket.com/albums/...sman/hood4.jpg

still too big?

theMonster 02-25-2004 04:06 PM

pay
 
seeing as how the same thing can be done with super sculpey with paint and some sanding or a part from a model, I'd say no more than $3-$5 shipped. I personally would make it myself rather than pay. I wouldn't sell it because it wouldn't be enough $$ to be worth the effort of making them. and yes...still WAY too big. That's 2x the size of a sunroof, a real scoop is maybe 1/3 the size of one.

xmodsman 02-25-2004 04:20 PM

omg seriously what is too big the hole?
if it is that its only from here to here

e (from bottom to top of the e)

theMonster 02-25-2004 05:41 PM

too long and wide

mainly, it's too long. I'd make it maybe an inch or inch and a half wide by 1/4 to 1/2 long with the opening being maybe a little higher, perhaps 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch (I'm guessing here, becaue I don't have a ruler. Look at how small the scoop is on the Beamer, that's what you should go by. The scoop you have doesn't look good on your car, but would be bitchin' on a 69 Camaro's hood!

**edit** Sorry I stretched the forum Neuro, but I had to in order to be able to see the scoop well.

**edit**edit** Here's another roof-scoop pic 4u.

civic freak 02-26-2004 09:09 PM

I love it i dont care what you guys say but I LOVE it! I'll give you $20-$25 shipped for the WHOLE body(is it functional).E-mail me at Dadders47@aol.com

xmodsman 02-26-2004 09:55 PM

the only way ill sell the body is if u will give me a rsx body with wild kits on it.

but i will sell u the scoop and it is functional.

to think im 12 years old...lol

p.s. and the carbon fibre hood.

civic freak 02-26-2004 10:00 PM

how much for the scoop and how do you put it on?i'll pay you$5-$8

Mclaren 02-27-2004 05:30 PM

ill take 1 for my skyline

xmodsman 02-27-2004 07:05 PM

yeah, this is working i thought from the first responses that everyone hated it.


but to put it on u glue it.
i am selling it email me your highest amount. bmxboy9312@yahoo.com

and i only make them for civic/rsx becuase i have those bodys.

if u send me ur skyline body i will paint the scoop and form it for like the cost of paint shipping and handling and just add 7 dollars to that

george 04-01-2004 06:42 PM

id buy it for my supra if u made it smaller but im not sending my body away. (not that i dont trust you, Im too nervous to send it in the mail.)

Mclaren 04-02-2004 04:38 PM

yea ill take one for my skyline maby 10-30$

xmodsman 04-04-2004 11:33 AM

email me at bmxboy9312@yahoo.com to talk further into buying the scoop.

sunfirerep601 04-09-2004 12:47 AM

your roof scoop is entirely tooooooo big. you being twelve and not having much auto-pleasing experience, try playing nfsu (Need For Speed Underground) that should give you HUGE hints on what people like about roof scoops.

george 04-09-2004 10:43 AM

sun fire- dont critisize him. if you dont want to buy it, then dont say anything. let him sell it if he wants.

xmodsman 04-10-2004 11:33 AM

LOL i actually have nfsu.
but thats besides the point.
thanks for sticking up for me

Tbird Man 04-11-2004 02:48 PM

I don't think hes trying to be mean, just trying to help, I must admit its not bad for a 12 y/o, if he was 18 i would say don't quit your day job, but he shows promise. that said i think you should consider makeing it a little smaller, unless you can't. I personally don't want one beacuse i am tired of the riced out xmods and prefer my stock skyline.

RacinSkillZ101 04-12-2004 07:13 AM

at the moment no, my xmod has no need for a cooling system, atleast not yet

george 04-12-2004 04:44 PM

whats that thing coming out of the exaughst? It looks like a little flame.

RacinSkillZ101 04-13-2004 06:01 AM

george 04-13-2004 08:15 AM

sunfirerep601 04-20-2004 10:13 PM
