Headlight Intake Scoop--Where can I find one?

Yes. I did a search. It turned a bunch up for the FC. Some ******* smashed the passenger side of my FD, so I figure I'll have a spoiler and the scoop put on while they're already painting (if you've got a stock spoiler to sell, let me know) I need to know where to find the scoop as inexpensively as possible. Thanks, -BN

Rotormotorsports.com sells the FEED Headlight scoops for $190. I don't know if that is the cheapest place but I know they sell them.

I just found a Border one for $109 and it looks ten times better than the FEED one. Later.

I hate giving away my secret places to get cool Japan only parts like Ab-Flug, Border, Bomex, C-West, Pan Speed, R-Magic, Knightsport, Jun, MazdaSpeed, Damd, and more. But WTF. Go to www.takakaira.com They ahve the best prices by far. East Bear Headlight Kit-$501 plus shippind. Compare that to Rotormotorsports sale price of $649. Please. Also C-West light kits for $1121. This place is the best place for awesome prices. Have fun.

I have 8 of the Cwest headlight ducts on the way to me. They are pretty nice.
Remember that when you buy from Japan, shipping charges are pretty expensive. In the end you dont save much money.

You will have to go to the site and look under the courier rates. I am not sure on shipping. It will depend on weight and dimesions. A group order from them would be a good way to save money on freight. The headlight kits should cost around $75-100 dollars to have Japan UPS ship them here for one kit, as I said a group buy may be the way to go for this site. But it is still cheaper than most US sites. Plus the US sites get a better price and probably better shipping rates and still charge way more. I don't get it.

I always wanted either the Knighsports (top choice) or Border headlight cover, but something always drew me to the C-West cover, but what was it? Well I just looked at the Borber cover and at the C-West cover, and I'll be, its the SAME exact cover! The C-West is $14 cheaper too, hhmm. Do I smell a group buy?

Has anyone ever actually done an airflow test to see if the cfm is higher with this scoop and the "cold air intake" (which takes the hot engine bay air and shoves it in the engine) than the stock box OR the stock box modification?

Also, has anyone ever run some tubing from the front fascia scoop openings to the intake? I think you could move the coolant reservoir (or get a small one from Summit) and run a duct across there. Anyone know why this wouldn't work?

Dryer hose works really well to draw cold air into the intake area because it is insulated and flexable. Quick $2.00 cold air intake.
