unlike some air vents i've seen, it would have a purpose to cool turbocharger and it would close and open from inside in case it rains...so the question is....to scoop or not to scoop? so let all the positive input begin. :D:D:D

ooooohhhh how about Scoup Doug?

Why did you put it in the middle again? They said to bring it forward. It will fit the profile of the XC90 hood so much better. The colors are close too. You probably wouldn't need to paint it.

Maaaan I am still drooooooling over this pic...aaoaaoooohhhhhh so beautiful...I just have to put it on the R....;)

I think there should be a gauge pod out on the hood also. You know you want to do it Dougy.

Oh my, that's fugly... and I've switched from Volvo to this now (so I'm not totally opposed to scoops):



Anyway, if you're serious, it ought to be wider and lower in order for it to look good - ignoring functionality completely, of course.

They are, they feed cooler air to the top mount (above engine) intercooler. As most convert to a FMIC, the hood scoop no longer is needed, in theory.

Does this means this no longer belongs in the R forum? I know a few people that wouldn't mind this thread disappearing from their lives.
