those scoops on the roof of the car are not for replacing your a/c unit, it is for relocating air to the mid or rear engine. Some instances they are used for relocating the air to the rear brakes but even then thats not too often.

And just to look like the retard you think I am, I'll just put a MR2 snorkle on my hb. Just glue it to the roof with good ol' elmers! I don't know all that much about motor swaps but I'm not EMH.

my arguement is...
why get carbon fiber if your not going to show it?
its light
so, your going to go out and drop a few hundred dollars more by picking carbon fiber over fiberglass.
some people care that much about weight reduction
other people wont believe you if you say you have carbon fiber "this or that" unless they can see and feel it.
fuck "other people"
and true there is a slight weight diff. between fiberglass and carbon fiber but is that extra 3lbs worth that extra two hundred dollars you just spent.
again ... to some people it is... how serious are you??
you might say, "who cares what anyone else thinks."
bingo
But nomatter how many times you say it, i wont believe you.
ok
Then why do you do it, you know, mod your car? Cuz you love the rush.
i just love to drive... "the rush" is part of it too i guess
BULL SHIT!
ummmm no not really
That may be part of it but there is another part, maybe respect, the look of the other guys face when you beat his ass, girls, or money. All given to you by other people.
interesting concept but i dont drag race, so all of that is kinda unrelated to what i do.... i race road course.... i set my car up for road course.... my joy comes from passing a 911 turbo going through the turns and comming out of that corner so hard that even with his 150+hp advantage he cant catch my ass again... i like flying up behind an M3 and seeing the flag-man on the corner show HIM the blue flag with the yellow slash (faster car approaching)... i like bullshitting with all the old BMW and porsche drivers that have been doing this longer than i have been alive and getting tips from them.... but over all i just love the feeling of carving the shit out of corners
AND, whatever happened to those of us that say we dont care what our cars look like just as long as its fast.
i say that meaning that im not trying to make it pretty.... so the paints not perfect... so theres a few dings... so fuckin what... but ill be damned if im gunna purposly make my car not match (im way too fuckin OCD for that)
and my reasons for making a carbon fiber roof has its reasons. 1. the roof i have right now flexes and bounces, and makes a sound similar to someone flapping a piece of sheet metal. 2. it would be unique. 3. weight. and i never said i wouldn't paint a roof, for crist sake it fucking huge, and i feel that would look fugly if it wasn't painted.
ok
but hoods, common.
still think they look like ass
okay im done with my rant.
me too

i think its called PVS mold release (not too sure)
CRX hood it felt similar in weight, and when we weighed the two hoods the CRX hood was a pound lighter than the new Carbon hood.
