Modifying the body on a NewEdge..

Ke^in · June 22nd, 2009, 11:37 AM

Has anyone taken off the side vents/hood scoops and replaced them with something that looks a bit more real than the plastic honeycomb vents that are inside them? I've seen people take the plastic out, and add a metal like honeycomb inside it. While it still isn't functional, it looks better than the plastic.

Anyone have any other ideas?

I replaced all of my honeycomb with a stainless steel mesh material, im not sure where i bought it from, i'll see if ive got some pics on the office comp, gimme a few

i've also got that material in the side skirts, your car has chrome rims if i remember correct, so i think this would look good on your car.

I would probably paint it flat black....

Bullitt scoops

Ke^in · June 22nd, 2009, 12:46 PM

Doesn't the bullit have a shaker hood scoop? I am eventually going there as It's staying N/A

AzSonicSnake · June 22nd, 2009, 01:02 PM

nope... no shaker on the bullitt. thats on the mach's.

Ke^in · June 22nd, 2009, 01:06 PM

Ah.. I see. I still want one.

I have a question on that though. I was told you could use your stock hood, but it had to be cut? I find it hard to believe because the shaker is smaller?

Of course I could be wrong. It's known to happen frequently.

AzSonicSnake · June 22nd, 2009, 01:08 PM

that i do not know. the mach's are also 4v cars, so not sure how the shaker would work on a 2v car..

Look it up - I think its CDC that makes the kits, there could be others too, just remember seeing the adds in 5.0 mag.

Just say "I don't know" next time. It's a lot easier

mrsinister2424 · June 22nd, 2009, 01:47 PM

Willy has the shaker kit. I'd just geta shaker off a Mach, and a Mach hood to go with it. They look best that way.

Ke^in · June 22nd, 2009, 02:15 PM

Hmmm... there is a Mach in the parking lot of Foodland. Wonder if he'd car if I got the hood/shaker off?

Ke^in · June 23rd, 2009, 09:05 AM

BTW how much gains do shaker hood-scoops give? Is it worth getting one over a CAI? Remember, not planning on ever going FI, and this isn't going to be a track car. Just a nice and fun hobby car that I drive daily. I just wanna be ready if one day some basically stock Fbody messes with me on the road. It's bound to happen.
