I'm a huge fan of the STI hoods. Would it take too much fabrication to take an OEM STI hood or CF OEM STI hood and fit it onto a 1g? or does someone already make a replica of an STI hood for a DSM?
 
No one makes that hood for any dsm's. If you wanted one it would be a custom setup. I would go ahead and talk to a very good body shop and they should be able to give you a good quote. Now you may want to find someone that is good with photoshop to see what it would look like. Personally i don't think it will look like it fits but thats just my opinion.
 
i saw a hood scoop kinda like a sti on a neon before but it was just a stick on scoop but if you wanted you could mold it all together.
 
Any competant bodyshop should be able to mold on an STI scoop onto your stock hood, but it may look slightly odd with the turbo bump on the one side of the hood also.

Well, that's why I wanted a replica or an actual STI hood. I don't want the hump there if I have the scoop.
 
Well I believe that hump is there for a reason.
 
Why would you put an intake? What you REALLY need is a vent..

Carbontrix makes them. Also, the hump IS there for a reason.
 
Yeah, I know the hump is there for a reason. But most aftermarket hoods for our cars don't have a hump anyways.

Hey, what is that hump for anyway?

Clearance for cam gears/timing belt on turbo models. =P You bein' funny, or have you never opened your hood?

IMHO, an STI conversion would look fugly. Plus, you don't have a top mount intercooler. You'd simply be laughed at by everyone who knows anything about cars. Get a vent or CF hood or something instead.

It's for your spare tire/turbo/alien smuggling compartment/crack hideaway.

A search would have revealed all of this :|
