anyone have this hood

I've bought fiberglass hoods for like 2-500 bucks, and they where crap.
Didn't fit right, wavey when painted, flimsy.
This is the 1st hood that ive bought, that ive taken outta the box and bolted it on with no fender adjusting, all my gaps are str8. I feel that it's just as sturdy as the oem hood.
You GET What You Pay FOr!!!!!!!!!!!!

That hood is sleek muscle. Very nice.
See, got to love people who think their opinion is always right. I love your car taco, i have seen all your vids and pictures. You are going the same direction with your car as i am other than the hood.
Call me stupid, or whatever names you wanna throw at me for having an opinion. Unlike some people, i know people have diffrent taste and i respect that.
FWIW - shakers were used on cars with CARBS, not fuel injection with a front mount throttle body. If thats not rice, i am not sure what is.

Yes shakers originated on carbed cars, what difference does that make ?? The stock air box is to the side of a front facing throttle body does that make it rice? The FACT is the Shaker does suck air, provides a means of cold air and adds a little of the Old School to the new school, which is what this car is built on.
So by your definition anything that is not to YOUR liking is rice??

Guess I hurt your feelings - because you didn't say you liked my car, too.

its ok 89trooper, im didnt intend this thread to be a flame, but i guess i had it coming. As for the mach shakers, i never figured out why ford did that to them. Ive seen plenty of these SCIONS having a ton of (what i consider) rice on them from the factory, and many other cars like the neons, eclipse, etc.. Does it make it ok if Ford does it but not any other company? not flaming, just making a comparison.
OKC - my definition of rice is putting something on a car to make it look better but have little to zero fuctionality. Much like large wings you stated. They add weight to a car, kill aerodynamics, and simply arent fuctional until about 100 miles an hour (which most cars never see unless they are on the autobahn(sp). Much like my rear wing, my grill, and my front chin - they are all for looks, add weight, and probably kill the aerodynamics of the car.
Does the shaker have functionailty? maybe a tiny bit, with all those bends and the distance to get to the intake, i cant see how it would help under 100mph. But i am no expert, just my asinine opinion![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I never said rice was bad, it was the other people jumping me for calling it ricey - they for some reason thought i was insulting them. I wasnt, if you took it that way, im sorry.
sory to the maker of this thread, i didnt not mean to ***** it up with useless opinions. I hope you find the hood your looking for.

Sorry for the thread jack "Jenks" but as you can see the majority of people don't like that hood.

However, the shaker DOES provide additional cold air to the engine, as I proved today with this video. TacoBill and I were talking about whether it sucked air in (even if air wasn't being forced in). This is just revving it up at idle to about 2500. I'm sure it sucks pretty good at WOT, too!

See, we can agree on something - the Shakers SUCK!

Sorry but those mods are not rice. If you want to call your car rice then thats your choice.
Shaker hoods are even further from rice, they are functional. In my opinion its american muscle! It makes the car look mean.

I don't consider what Scion is doing rice. They're just being smart and giving the consumer the option of customizing his car from the factory. Which maybe some other companies should start considering.

Much like my rear wing, my grill, and my front chin - they are all for looks, add weight, and probably kill the aerodynamics of the car.
So basically then your saying anything cosmetic is rice. I doubt that your rear wing unless it's 2ft tall is hurting your aerodynamics. Your chin spoiler and rear wing add maybe 60lbs to the weight of your car. Which unless you have your car hooked up to all sorts of monitors you'd never notice a difference in performance.

I bought the shaker because I like how it looked. I don't give a rat's a$$ if it doesn't even give me 1hp.
I never said rice was bad, it was the other people jumping me for calling it ricey that took offense to what i said.

OH SO NOW EVERY OPINION OTHER THAN YOUR OWN IS "USELESS". I was willing to have a civilized arugment but if your going to be ignorant than forget it.
