We have 6 Premium Quality 04 STi Carbon Fiber hood scoops we will be receiving this week. These are class A carbon fiber units with a functional clearcoat with UV protection that prevents clouding and yellowing, and helps maintain that "wet" look. These are US spec pieces that are direct bolt-on replacements. The regular price on these units will be $289 but we will be offering up the first 6 pieces for $249, first come first server. We'll have photo's up later this week.

Here are the pics. I'd like to thank my friends at Bosal for supplying the pre-release photos. This is Bosal's project WRX car. We have 5 hoods and 12 hood scoops on order waiting for delivery. We're looking at 2-3 weeks before they arrive according to JSP. JSP does very nice CF. Clearcoated with UV protection so they will not haze or yellow like some of the poor quality stuff that is out there.

They are the same size as the 04 STi. The mold was from a stock 04 STi hood scoop. We will only have the STi sized cf scoop for the 04. If there was enough demand we could have some standard sized one's made.

You'll have photo's as soon as they hit my door.

Hey folks,

Just an update. Sorry I don't have the pics yet. I'll be getting a full update on Monday. Some delays with the initial shipment which is why no pictures yet. Will keep you all posted.

- Rich

No. They are a direct replacements for the 04 model year only. Check our website for a 4" CF hood scoop that will fit the 02-03.

-Rich

Plz Pm me when they come in! I've been looking all over for a CF STi hood scoop! I already have an STi splitter on the way!

Thanks for the picture! Looks good...will look even better when i put a sti IC under it! :D

BuMp 4 shipment 2 come in!

Bump for the Group Buy detail update and photos. 2-3 Weeks.

- Rich

Rich im ready to buy,,,how do these attach? same as stock? work with the stock splitter?Can i use paypal fr the group buy?

Thanks
Rudy

I think were all ready to buy...they just need to come in

jagcars26 - They are designed from the OEM hood scoop and will be a drop in replacement. I haven't had the opportunity to drop an OEM STi scoop on a regular 04 WRX so I can't comment on the splitter. When they arrive, yes, you can use palpal.

thechoochman28 - I'll call tomorrow and check the status.

- Rich

does the hood comes with the hood scoop or do i need to buy the hood scoop too??? :confused: do they require hood pins?

I think you'll be required to supply your own hood. No pins needed if stock!

:lol:

Bump * this is thechoochman28 using friends computer.

Ok, I've ordered it, paid for it, so when's it coming?

Sorry for the late reply folks.

Hood scoops are expect sometime next week. No one will be charged until we ship.

Hoods are a direct bolt-on. Hood pins are not a need to install, but are recommended.

I also want to address why these hoods cost a bit more than some of the noname and common other brands you'll see. The easy answer is quality but what that really means is this:

High quality carbon fiber. JSP uses very high quality tight woven carbon fiber. The density will be much greater than what you will see on many other brands CF product. The second thing to look for is whether the hood or hood scoop you are purchasing is just "gel coated" or clearcoated. The problem you have is it's difficult to tell a gel coated cf product from a true clearcoated product. JSP cf products use a special clearcoat formula specific to their cf application and it includes UV production as well. Many low cost cf products are simply gel coated, which looks great when you take it out of the box but will look terrible after its been out in the elements of the real world for a period of time. This is when your cf will turn yellow or haze and you'll realize what you bought. JSP is in the process of updating their website and they intend on disclosing full warranty information on all of their CF product. They will be gauranteed not to yellow or haze.

- Rich

wow i should order soon b4 they're gone!

OK i'm all ordered...hope they come in soon i have a lonely Sti splitter waiting.

gimme gimme gimme.

so $700+ for the hood and $200+ for the scoop? :eek:


Seibon hoods with the scoop go for $400 plus shipping, Grade A, UV protected.

I can't get over the crazy price so of these vendors charge for a CF hood. It's no different.

Pre-pegged carbon fiber hoods I can see paying a grip of cash for, but 99% of the "car show" scene doesn't even know what that is. (F1 quality, autoclaved).

so $700+ for the hood and $200+ for the scoop?

are they 100% carbon fiber or they lay with fiberglass to support the carbon fiber?

Gimme?

thechoochman28:"it's been a week are they in yet ?"

There is some fiberglass used as a backing.

AWJunkies - Half my order was suppose to ship lask week, I'll buzz Monday to see where its at. I'm counting the days myself.

- Rich

Ok...I still don't get it...So the total replacement will be 900 dollars without shipping? (CF hood+scoop)
Can you explain a little more in details about the quality and specification?

BUMP 4 scoops i'm still waiting !

Hi folks sorry for the delayed update. Was just waiting to get an update myself. After being told a partial order would ship last week, I'm now told it will be shipping this week due to various delays. For you guys who already placed an order I'll be knocking off $20 for you patience. Hopefully my next post will be regarding product shipping.

In regards to quality and the build of the product: JSP's CF uses very high quality CF. The CF weave is much tighter than much of the product that is available, and they use a special clearcoat fomulation that is designed explicity for their CF applications. This is why Bosal's show car is wearing JSP's product(well OK, it might have something to due with co-marketing as well:)). Hey, there is other good stuff out there too, this is just the company we've decided to get our CF product from. Be careful out there...

- Rich

wow 20 smackaroonys! Thanx 4 taking care of us Rich, I'll probably be getting a hood from you guys in the future.

I would like a CF hood scoop, please PM me with current total cost shipped to Indianapolis...and how you expect payment. Thanks.

Tony

PM'd you. There is 1 available in the first partial order we having arriving this week. We've said that before, but we have confirmed they shipped and will be arriving today or tomorrow.

What center gauge pod is that in the pictured example car? Anyone know?

Pretty sure it's the new Autometer/GaugeWorks. It can be had for about $50.

- Rich

You boys who had your orders in. They all shipped this morning. You should have got a tracking # by now. I only got a chance to snap a couple of pics since we only received 4 and they all went out the door. I'll post the pics tomorrow. One thing you'll like is the lifetime material and workmanship warranty included. There is a warranty sheet included. Our order was for 12 so we'll have 8 more trickling in. A couple of you guys who had your orders in early Feb. got the extra discount. We'll hold this $249 price until the end of March for anyone else that wishes to pre-order for the next shipments.

Cronos, that is a Gaugeworks pod that is installed in our Sube. If anyone is interested in the try-state area, the car will be at the International Auto Show at The Jacob Javitz Center in NYC from April 9-18th.

No tracking number.
No scoop.
No 20 bucks of my Visa.

No nothing.

Not amused.

2fcknfst - I PM'd you regarding a track #. USPS regular Airmail doesn't have a formal track#. If you don't receive the scoop this week I'll head down to the post office to see what can be done.

- Rich

Ok, got the scoop... today.

And because you use this venue to sell your wares, I am sure this is not going to come as a surprise to you...

The scoop I recieved is garbage; there are flaws in the clearcoat, pits in the fibre weave and chips along the both the front, and sides.

What really disturbs me is that your company even sent this out in the first place.

Pictures will be emailed to whomever asks.

The scoop is being returned, and I am cancelling the payment on my Visa.

I will state this categorically for all to see:

This is the exact type of BS people have to watch for on the net; a half assed 2 bit organization that promotes one thing and delivers something entirely different. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE that a new product, especially one that cost just south of 300us, should have even left the factory it was made in, let alone your shop. In my opinion, you have behaved in an irresponsible manner, and I hope your business rots as a result.

Of course, another possibility was that it was mounted on another car, but hey, what do I know... more to the point, I don't deal with disapointment well...

Good luck boys; yer gonna need it.

We have never left a customer with a legitimate issue out in the cold. If you've got a bad apple we will refund your purchase and reimburse your freight as well. I have no issue with you letting the forum know, that's what it's for, but it would have been just as effective to email us your issue first, your result would have been the same. We stand behind what we sell. You should also find we shipped the product when we origonally claimed, we have no control over USPS and the delays the import process can have. I apologies for the dissapointment. We will refund you upon receipt of the scoop.

It may have been more effective to email you first, but this was infinitely more satisfying.

My point is: Rather than standing BEHIND everything you sell, you are much better served to LOOK ahead before you send it out.

I hear you knocking, no worry. I'll shoot you a PM with the return address to send it to. We'll take care of it. It is difficult(time wise) to view every product before it is shipped. Im not aware of any vendor that has the capacity to due this, in particular when the product is pre-packaged from the manufacturer, but in retrospect, I think it is a good idea for us to due this for anything that is sent outside the country. We'll make it a point to due that on future orders.

I was disappointed with my hood scoop as well...they weren't as high qaulity as mentioned....the mesh had a hole in it, the weave has some inperfections but i don't mind that...the big problem is the fiberglass bottom broke away from the carbon fiber...causing it to almost fly of the car...luckly i pulled off the freeway in time b4 it totally broke off.

:eek:

thechoochman28 - I'm PM'ing you. You should have let me know what was going on for 2 reasons:

1) So I could get you a refund or a replacment(which we'll still do)
2) just for my own knowledge so I can bring this up with JSP.

- Rich

well i didn't know it was going to break...the small inperfections weren't really a big deal before i put it on.

you guys should give Rich a chance to correct the issue(s) before being dicks about it. your BS flaming before giving him a fair opportunity to correct the situation is exactly the reason why a lot of company's customer service is going downhill these days, imo.
