FC Hood Scoop
You mean the plastic surround that sits inside the stamped metal of the hood? Someone with a trashed TII hood should have that still, keep asking around.
A company out of Canada makes a fiberglass replica molded from the stock hoodscoop & insert... which you'll need to bond to an NA or TII hood. Do a search for "fiberglass scoop" on this section and you should see the link.

You could also get a carbon fiber insert from Speed Machine Performance. Ask for Dave.

It'd be nice if someone actually improved the hoodscoop so that it brought in more air instead of just making it nicer all the time. Like take a look at subaru's hoodscoops, they're ******* huge compared to ours, someone needs to make one like that for better airflow. Then again im no engineer so im sure theres some sort of downside to this?

Just a question... but what happen to your scoop? It's not like it actually comes off or anything....or are you one of those N/A guys wanting a Turbo hood? Ahhhh, I see what's really going on here!

Personally I'd rather stick with my aluminium N/A hood. Once I do a TII swap, I'll still keep the smooth N/A hood, and use an FMIC. Total Sleeper.
Have you looked through your local Pick n Pull? When I'm looking for a hard to find part, I drop by every couple of days, because the stock is always changing.

The correct information that I find on the internet that is actually useful could barely fill the pathetic cupholders on the glovebox of my FC.
Case in point: When I finished my TII swap, it wouldn't start. Spark=OK, Fuel=OK. The injectors weren't firing though. Everyone said to do this and that and take all this **** apart. 5secs after posting the thread, I realized that I forgot to plug in the 'other' 2 plugs from the engine harness into the body harness(up by the firewall, inside the car). Plug'em in and she fired up on the first try. Not a single person said to check that, knowing that it was a swap with harness and ECU.
People can throw ideas all they want, but most don't have a ******* clue unless they are truly in your shoes.
Hood scoops rule, at least I can tell you that as soon as I have one.

Well if you're talking about the little rubber gasket thingy that hangs on under the hood to make a good seal with the TMIC, I still have one from my old hood. Let me know if that's what you need.
[edit] I just realized which piece you're talking about..that little piece that goes in front of the scoop. I definitely don't have that. Good luck! [/edit]
Not that the TMIC is all that bad, but we should all should become rich and run VMIC or FMIC!
