hood scoop on ion qc

[dannostl]

I had bought a red 04 ion qc & had installed progress 2" lowering springs & Thermal R&D cat back exhaust . had the windows tinted & put a hood scoop on it. i took it in for an oil change at 8800 miles & was talking to one of the salesmen - they had a blue 04 ion redline that someone had returned with 2600 miles on it....long story short...i ended up trading in my ion & $1500 for the redline... my question to you all is should i get another hood scoop & get it painted to match the car again? .. see attached photo of old ion.

Congrats on the new car, you will love it a little more each day you drive it.

My vote is NO don't put a hood scoop on your car. Mine had one when I bought it, but the dealership removed it becuase I didn't like the way it looked.

Here is a pic of it.

I been out to the St.Peters location a bunch had my sc2 serviced there nice people all the way around.I bring my own oil (mobil 1) and let saturn of creve couer change it.Lou Fusz has all the saturn dealers in this area the only ones he dont have are the couple down south.

My vote is....NO! I don't blame jmonte345 at all for requesting for it to be removed. It just doesn't look good. If my car looked like that when I was shopping, I probably would have never bought it. I would be driving a Impreza RS now and been less happy.
The one on the red QC looks better but I still say NO!

uh no way not that one.

it's the wannabe evo one, fully non-functional, tell them you want a functional one so it actually serves a purpose

maybe functional but the redlines have to smooth of a look for a big hood scoop in the middle
