Most of you won't like it. I like it.
There's no function. It's just looks which is my style. Right now it's not completely on. I just layed it on the hood just to take pics. I'll finalize the add on this weekend. It should be flushed with the hood when its all done.

I'm not that opposed to non-fuctional hood scoops but I'm not feeling those particular scoops. They're kind of small for that sized hood.

yeah, i don't really get this 'mod.'. some kid in my in-law's neigborhood has a scion xB with fake M3 fender vents taped on.

considering your list of mods which seem legit, i don't know why you'd tack on some fake air vents.

someone mentioned that there are plans for supercharging the 09's in another thread on the forum. if it's true, just wait for some company to make an actual vented hood, like the J's one for the 1st gens.

also, unless your LEDs plan to look like factory OEM from audi, i'd abort that as well.

but it is your car, so happy modding.

this is just temporary until a decent hood replacement comes out. i really like the red mugen hood. so this is the closest i can come to it without having to cut into the OEM hood.

we all have different styles.

can u get the grill color matched to the car?? i think it would look better than way instead of black.

At least you realize that nobody will agree with the hood vents. They are not for me, but to each his own..............Hey at least you will be the only rocking hood vents on ANY year TSX LOL

Well, I don't think it looks bad. I mean, it will help vent engine bay heat, right? Of course, it will probably let a lot of water in as well.

I remember on the old 2.5RS Impreza, that hood scoop did nothing, aside from provide a space to put a graphic/sticker.

Personally, I wouldn't go digging holes in my hood that aren't designed/intended by Honda/Acura. :nono:

There's so much hate on here but I'm not even going to comment on your hood vent just to keep it cleaner. Your hood vent is no where near as clean as the Mugen hood vent, maybe you should find a better one at least...
