Pre-facelift:
New orders are on hold, but I hope to be ready to go when my new materials come in...

Post-facelift:
Next in line... I want to get ahead on the scoops, get a few surplus, then work on altering my scoop design to work on the post facelift...

I am still wanting one of these! I want my TD04 and revtronix stage 2 set-up more though. Once I have that and a TMIC on for the scoop to feed, this is probably the next thing Ill buy :D

You're asking if the pre-facelift models fit the post-facelifts?

Scoops look really great! It's these kind of ambitious projects that make our cars/owners/community so special. Now hurry up hand make a post-face life version!

Other than the obvious 92-94 hood scoops being next.. hehe, I do have some plans if I can offset the cost some...

-Side skirts for 89-94 Legacys
-Front/Rear Fender lips *I'd prefer to make them from urethane, so these are more resiliant* I'm still learning urethane molding...
-Fog light buckets that bolt into the turn signal housing... *PIAA bulbs?* *should be fairly doable*
- I've always wanted to do a hood light pod. *but there's a guy on here that made one, so I'm not stepping on his toes, if he wants to make more, my design would be a bit different though, if I do make them.

When I get a good vaccum system to develop my fiberglass/carbon skills and improve my layup results, I'll try for making:
-carbon front fenders
-fiberglass fender lip kit
-maybe some aero pieces... our poor cars need all the help they can get.. hehe



how serious are you about the above. i would be interested for sure for front and rear lip kit and side skirts. fender kits would be sweet as well.

Pretty serious, I've been so flipping busy lately and I had a small adjustment to my design, to make better strength. Luckily the first scoop I made was the test mule, but I think we'll be good to go now, it's basically a small lip on the inside edge for strength on the bottom mounting surface, *a lot like the original scoop*

It's very sharp I'll have ya know though, I'm definitely glad to be ready to pop these out! I hope to make five or six more very soon, I hope to have no wait time for people very soon. I tell ya, it's been a long road and how badass would it be to start my own custom fab shop! but yeah, one scoop at a time at the moment.

Hehe, I'm shipping out scoop #2 to Mike, as soon as he gets me the details on what he wants airbrushed on the inside of the scoop... I put Some script/logo/car name/etc... then the serial #

I got my bolt-on JIG adjusted, so the scoop will slip right on! I owe BlackBart a scoop for being helpful, this means I'll be ready to make some more scoop bodies.

After I do a batch or two, I'll start R&D on the post face lifts... *I gotta make SOME of my money back on this* lol You dont want to know how much time/coin I have in these, it's F'n ridiculous, but so worth it!

hehe, I'm chomping at the bit for more fiberglass work... Still too cold to do molding outside and making ten of these doesn't warrant buying a shop.. but yes, I've dusted off the mold and am ready to crank out some more scoops.... :3

Sorry about all the delays, I'm not making excuses, it's just I've had almost NO "extra" money since about Dec... I was hoping to get a job here soon, but I start my new job MONDAY! HAHA My molding stuffs and fiberglass table has just been sitting there... I wish I could turn a profit making these, but it's really just a labor of love... :P

All my fabrication and fiberglass making before was just barely paying for the materials, so when I lost my job last Dec., I kinda just have been moping around being a bum, I swear, I've never been without work so long in my life! Six months! Also, had to come up with money for STi repair, so my savings is pretty well gone.. :P


Thank you for your patience peeps, I spent like forever making the scoop/mold perfect, so yeah, I hate that I've only made only Three... I'll admit, I would have been a bit more motivated had there have been more than three people wanting em for the first batch :P
