Did they make an evo gen1?
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

I have no idea - HongKonger, can you take some measurements on that hood for me? [EDIT] It's not a Gen1 - it doesn't have the crease down the centerline.... I guess the question is if the dimensions are the same as a Gen1. Maybe the scoop could be cut out and installed on a Gen1 hood, though. I don't need that much scoop width, but if it was available..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> [EDIT] Frank

I vote body lift, way cheaper and easier. I could help you out.

No fun having a supercharger if you don't have a scoop. Unless your going for the sleeper look to fry up some import racers on Sat night <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I know - but my wife is 5'4", I already have 32" tires and LWB rear springs - and I refuse to add running boards. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> When I bought the truck, one of the selling points was that she could use it to go to Lowe's to haul mulch <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.... so, a 2" body lift would make that statement a bald-faced lie and me a liar. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> She's frequently asking why the truck has the garage tied up, why my SL is sitting outside in the weather and why she's hauling mulch in her '06 ML350. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> Come to think of it, so am I. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

C'mon - where's the creativity <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Seriously, how about a Kevlar hood? Can't think of a more straight forward project to learn the craft - pre-existing hood, wood template for the scoop...those hongkong ones look like a composite Gen2 hood. Looking good Frank. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
