trying to find a hood scoop grille insert for xenon

Salvatorey · 02-05-2007

i purchased the xenon hood scoop for my car and it looks great but i'm not very impressed with the air in-let. its just black, no grille appearance. i was wondering if anybody knew any sites or companies that sell grille inserts for the xenon hood scoop? thanks to anybody that can help

I had the same problem with my 3D Carbon scoop. I ended up fabricating a 'grill' from a piece of plastic. I haven't found any sites that make billet inserts. Would be nice!

haha, yeap, exactly what i was going to do if nobody sold them. allthough, im definatly going to bump into problems in terms of making them...got any blueprints in terms of making them, and what you used? lol....thanks for the feedback stl

oh p.s...i DID once see a billet insert for the xenon hood scoop...i think maybe on ebay, but i never saw it again after that day..*sigh*

Believe it or not I used a piece of plastic cross-stitch backing. It was a white plastic sheet with holes. Like $.99 in the craft section in Walmart. Made a paper template and then cut and stuck in there using some spray adhesive. Worked great and looked pretty good too.

Looks great, but I know what you mean, it would look better with a billet or black grill.

No I don't... I'm a little challenged when it comes to A/V stuff. I may ask one of my kids to tape it for me at some point.
