Someone post pictures of these hoods as I have no clue what anyone is talking about "Scootie2,gt300,scoobie,Etc" .
It might also straighten out some things as I think you guys are talking about two different hoods, Maybe??
@BadHabit - No it's mine now...LOL

OK....
The GT-300 is about the only one that makes sense!
Scoote2 is just plain ugly! But I can see it's functionality
The Pitroad M is not only ugly but its' functionality is flawed.... The front scoop will pull heat out and force it right back through the rear scoop??? And the side vents, are they cooling off the strut towers??? I didn't know they got that hot. The mixture of push/pull airflow is not functional with that hood. You can either force cool air into the engine to cool it or extract heat from it You can only use one method not both! Hood Fail!!!!
I think the pitroad M front vents air out right after the radiator where normally the airflow is trapped and cool air is being scooped by airflow to cool the rear turbo, the scoop on the passenger side goes to the intake, and the other scoop is probably just there to make it look symmetrical. Now the scoops imo don't really catch too much airflow, which is why I prefer venting out air like in scoote and topsecret because you will be venting more air then prm which imo is a more noticeable gain.
That scoote 2 is horrible looking.
As seen in the pics the GT300/Top Secret is not just straight lines like IPD keeps eluding too. It has curve to it. It works because it looks like it could have come stock on a 3s. The Scootie doesn't look like it would come stock on anything.

wow. more fail.
the pitroad m has 2 vents. whatever the fuck atrosity posted is the knockoff. the genuine pitroad m has a vent over the front bank and a vent over the rear bank; not a scoop over the rear bank. i know, i've seen it in person. whoever paid for a knockoff, i pity.
vr4ever's car was very well put together. his hood was also the only part of the car which i disliked immensely; it just did NOT flow with the car. telling me that that hood has curves to it is, imho, like insisting that the world is flat. there is no way in hell the gt-300 looks like it came stock on anything other than maybe a lambo reventon. it is FAR too angular.
p.s.
i stand corrected. gixxerdrew's spyder DSM is actually a custom fab; not a scoote2. the vents are actually steeper to vent more air, and it also has gurney flaps to create downforce on the front. i've asked him about getting one fabbed for my car.
ok, fuck it. i'ma put this hood on my car:Quote:

That is the coolest hood ever
That hood looks sweet, but not very functional :P.
fyi:

this is how the pitroad m should look. the FG one is only $299, and at that price, i might actually consider it. not the best "OEM-looking" hood, but it does vent the best.
plain ugly hood .Quote:

thanks
Again, you're in the minority. Don't get pissy because the vast majority disagree with you. The pictures shows its not near as angular as you are trying to make it out to be to defend your argument.Quote:

at the VERY least, the gt-300 needs to have the leading vent's front edge rounded off. it would look 200% better if that one vent was rounded.
something like this maybe:
Attachment 2115
IPD you blind? the inner lines of the vents have a slight curve.
if they are, you certainly can't see it in any of the pics. every pic i've seen of the hood, from every available angle...makes it look like the vents were cut out with a box-knife; there's no curves anywhere. i'll be happy to take a "closer look" at someone's hood at NG--although i can't imagine it'll change my mind.
if i had any fabrication skills whatsoever, i might actually attempt to use a pair of damage 2g 3kgt skirts and see if i could fabricate a custom vented hood; using the fake brake ducts as vents, rather than scoops. it would certainly fit my car's lines better.
hey gonzo can you make me a evil eye hood for my stealth. I now someone with an extra hood

that sucks if they did that :( gabber did the original and i would have thought cianci or sibeion would have jumped at the chance to make a mould of it.
Cianci does have the mold of it but after the shadiness going on know one is buying from them .Quote:

Greg, what do you use for welding?
I'm using a harbor freight 110v mig welder. I have built everything using it including my trailer. Welder was less than $200 and well worth it for how much I use it. Not the prettiest weld but it works!!!
Hey Gonzo, what state and city do you live in?
I'm on the outskirts of Raleigh NC.
How much would you charge to make the cutout pieces for the evil eye mod?
thought id just add mine on this thread aswell since i was one of the first to do the mod around the same time gabbergod did his ;) this is my updated one and has the pifighter style carbon hood blended into the oe hood.it was a damaged carbon one i got and cut out the full section with the vents then cut a hole out the oe hood and pot rivited and bonded into place then blended in.it still has the strength for the oe lifters and hood catch but really light.

i know its an old bump...but this thread had me cracking up...IPD everyone roasted the hell out of you! :D No worries though! Soon I'll be a part of the Volk/Scoote club as well...I'll post pictures soon to convert the naysayers...
very crude pictures...hood fitment is still in progress however some scoote2 pictures for the naysayers...;)
My larger plenum touches the hood(thats why its a bit popped up on the drivers side)..need to do a little shaving to make it a bit more flush. Also had to enlarge the hingle holes to make the hood sit forward enough to catch the latch. Still need to install pins which will help in making it sit completely flush and prep/paint the thing....after its all done IMO it should compliment the car very nicely!
