Hood scoop, Custom job Options

[Athorn]

I noticed a few members on here have custom hood scoops but when i searched i could not find much about it. I was thinking about buying a universal hood scoop or maybe even and mr2 and putting it on my celi. Is it any more complicated that cutting a hole in the hood and putting the hood scoop on? what about when it rains how do you protect the engine?

i made one for my rally beater, worked good and with a good pair of tin snips, it was easy as hell to cut out the hole. at first i tried using a cutting wheel and a die grinder, but the air compressor i was using was not large enough and it was more of a headache than anything. the tin snips literally took me like 5 minutes for the whole thing. granted my parts were all bought at home depot and painted flourecent pink to be a smart ass, but the idea of cutting the hole is the same.
