    Are we talkin HOOD scoop or ROOF scoop? The hood is what covers the engine, the roof is what covers the cabin.

    Hood Scoop: You would have to buy a hood scoop. Then you would have to cut a hole in your hood, and route pipe to your intake filter. Kinda pointless unless you have either an aftermarket filter, or a top mount intercooler.

    Roof Scoop: next to impossible on a front engine car. These are for mid engine cars where the engine is behind the driver. To do it to a front engine car, you would have to run the ducting thru the cabin. (the one on the eclipse in F&TF was there for show only)

    he said hood scoop, so i guess thats what he means... all you will have to do it cut the hole, install the scoop, take the fliter lid off the top of the carb, get a panel style filter and attach it to the inside fo the hood under the scoop... and when i rains, just stuff a towel in the scoop to keep out watter

    87 hatch (stolen)

    88 lxi 4dr, 5spd, threw a rod... in process of swapping engine from my 87 hatch (police recovered what was left of the car).

    the fucker that sold me the 88 is lucky he lives 500 miles from me...
