whats better?

[addict_cb7]

hood scoop (since our cars are fwd) or rear spoiler ( more traction on back ) i dont think the rear spoiler is really needed. but what do yall think?

[Bruce Banner]

I think sun roof.
lol

[Pandemic]

I dont like either.

[AccordWarrior]

Neither will benefit our cars. Maybe in high speed highway runs, one might help a little, but it's really unrealistic to think like that.

They're both purely cosmetic. However, seeing as a hood scoop won't actually benefit anything in the engine bay, unless you figured out how to do a ram-air setup...

I dunno, it's your call. I have the OEM spoiler on my car, but that's just because I like how it looks.

[kouzie]

either is fine...
or nothing is ok too..

A VERY low suspension, a low front lip, and the lowest sideskirts you can find will work the best as far as aerodynamics... of course, unless it's a track car, it'll be meaningless.

When you're going fast enough for any aero mod to be significant, you're going straight. It doesn't matter. Also, hood scoops are used for cooling the engine, and in some cars, for intake purposes. They are rarely used for downforce, if ever. A rear spoiler WILL help keep the rear end more stable at high speeds, but unless you're on a track (or a total moron on the highway) you'll never need one.

Home depot racing lip ftw haha you can go as low as you want and dont have to wrory bout it breaking. Ive seen people do that for some autocross events haha. It might look ghetto but it damn well works. But if your going for aesthetics choose whatever works. Personally not a fan of either. Even though RnR car actually looks decent with a hood scoop.

[legendarysleepe]

any pics of RnR car with the hood scoop?

[deevergote]

It's in his sig, and he's also nominated for AoM this month.

I think it looks really good. I'm a fan of the subtle scoops on our cars. I may even consider one myself!

[titobolas]

iin some cars the hood scoops looks ok depends on what you going for, all show or no go or both, like the spoiler on my car i'm 50/50 sometimes i think it looks good and sometimes i feel like putting the stock 1 back on or just plain, but i does not help at all , ithink

If your about show, either one of these would be alright. However, if your concered about functionality, look into puttin your money where it really counts. A hood scoop is goin to do nothing at all, if anything, it will increase your frontal area thus increasing drag (However you still wouldnt even notice it). A rear wing, again, will do nothing, unless your very concerned about your rear end sliding out of a curve due to excessive speeds (and by excessive i mean beyond 120mph, which would require a very very good suspension setup.). If this is the case, im sure your car is not on the road and ment for one thing,... extreme autocrossing.

In conclusion, if you want to make it look good, sure go for it, but dont think either one of these 'mods' will help you perform in realistic driving conditions.

Hood scoop

Like people have said nether helps your car in terms of aerodynamics the only advantage a hood scoop could give is more air to your intake if it's put the correct spot and maybe cool down your head/intake manifold.

By the way i remember a friend of mine with an integra saying there is a mod where you drop an air intake vacuum line into your manifold. (other then the ones that go there stock) Apparently it keeps the actual manifold colder and adds some hp. Let me know if anyone has ever heard of this and if you can do it to a cb7.
