    I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this hood... I know its fiberglass, which kind of sucks I wish it was steel. but other than that has anyone heard anything about it? fit wise is it a piece of crap?

    A fake hood scoop AND fish gills? Just one is bad enough, then someone combines them together! That's just wrong

    haha I figured there would be a lot of people that said its ugly or looks like it belongs on a rice rocket. I'm trying to find something besides the OEM sport hood. the sport hood is bad ass obviously but I can't seem to find anything different!

    Coming from Subaru WRX's and STI's if the hood scoop isn't functional then it's pure stupidity and pointless. Same applies to fish gills :p. I'm a function over fashion type of guy.

    I agree a functional scooop is so much better than a non-functional one, but you can't call it pointless if it looks good (not necessarily referring to this mcneil hood, but to the sport hood in general). But its not like you're gonna find a turbocharged Taco with a top mounted intercooler, so there goes the need for a functional scoop.
