Do anyone have any clue where to purchase the hood on the S2000 that is posted on Mastergrade's main page? hood with the scoop?

 

That's my car. Just a tip of advice, many people are mad at them. Do a search for "CF Console; Mastergrade"

Not very good customer service, non functional hood, and the air might get trapped in the engine bay, creating a imbalance in your car, hence accident.

Did you realize that you answered your own question? Hint - Contact MasterGrade.

 

Wasn't on there product list so I wasn't sure if it was something they carried.

 

I think the hood looks sweet. It has the look of the new Ferrari hoods. Maybe I am wrong. BTW how will the hood make you crash?

I like that hood too, I was waiting for them to put on their products page. How much is it? Its fiberglass right? how is the fit?

There will be excess of ait coming into the engine bay, altering the OEM design of the car.

 

Last time I talked with Boomer on this he said they had to fire the folks who sent them the first batch of fiberglass hoods because one of them cracked upon only a slight amount of pressure. The newbie manufacturers apparently have MUCH better quality control but obviously another delay has arisen from the switch. As for the additional wind entering the engine bay, I would assume the wind would seek the quickest path of escape (bottom of car) and at that point, I'm not sure how much of the handling would be affected by it. It's probably a safe bet that one would have to be going at least in the triple digits for anything to be noticed at all and I think at that point, you might find the car experiencing some "lift" from the wind barreling down into the bottom of the car. It's all speculation though. Maybe if the entrance was sealed off, there wouldn't be a problem at all (other than increased drag). Either that or find a way to route the air from the inlet directly into a hose of some kind that would snake its way into my PRM. That would rule!

 

Do other cars that have hood scoops like this have problems with an imbalence? I was planning on buying this hood, but after reading this I might not
