Pretty sure we are going with just the one opening. A nice detail is that a parked car won't get too wet under the hood like existing vented designs do (including the one on my car).

With the height difference between the bottom and top of the hood, it should be possible to have the bottom of the scoop angled slightly towards the bumper, so that water drains down the bumper, rather than entering the scoop when the car is parked.

agreed!

I like it. It suits the car very well. Eager to see a pic of the real deal.

justjesus · 10-30-2009, 05:05 PM

yeah, that's sort of what I had in mind for my design as well.
Sweet. Keep it going Garm!

that is made of sex! I really wanted to buy a WRX hood scoop and throw it on the yaris. Looks like I don't have too...now!

chongopants · 10-31-2009, 08:52 AM

well put me down for one, seriously when they are ready PM me.

schleppy · 10-31-2009, 11:23 AM

I'll hold my order until I see some final pics :D

german yaris · 10-31-2009, 12:33 PM

Looks very nice, when i would drive a new Yaris I would buy one..... For my Yaris I found nothing....

I want to remove heat from the engine bay, especially near where the AFE filter sits. I've removed the heat box around the AFE filter for various reasons. Which design would work better?

A forward facing scoop or a reverse facing vent? I decided that I do not want to poke a hole in my front bumper to force cooler air in.

CtrlAltDefeat · 10-31-2009, 03:29 PM

I wonder if a forward facing vent would increase lift in the front. It seems it would direct air down past the engine and under the car. I think a rear vent (like the Kaminari reverse cowl hood) would direct air up and over the car, increasing downforce in the front where it's needed..

chongopants · 10-31-2009, 03:41 PM

i know i am not the only one that has thought this, what about porting the vent directly to the intake filter? I am from the old school of cars, dont know if these can handle that. Basically a ghetto ram air. lol

frownonfun · 10-31-2009, 03:45 PM

i'm sure one could always construct a funnel of some kind directing air to the intake. ghetto is what it would be though, yes. course no one will see it unless you open the hood.

In the Yaris, I don't think it would be an isue. It is only an econobox and the little (if any) negative downforce woud not be noticable.

When I installed my raised scoop on my Celica, the owner of the body shop (who painted it) raised the same concernns but, it has proved not to be a problem at all even at very high highway speeds.

chongopants · 10-31-2009, 03:50 PM

yeah but if I made a custome kick ars funnel, would it actually make a diff you think? It is much cooler air and a LOT more of it/
