Default Polyurethane or carbon gc8 02 style scoop??

Heyo, just wondering if anyone knows of any 99/00 gc8 02 sti style scoops which are made of polyurethane or completely made of carbon fibre??

All the ones I can find are fiberglass, or carbon wrapped fiberglass to give them that carbon look...

Would like to save a little weight if possible.. cheers

Fibreglass is way lighter than Polyurethane & lighter than the stock plastic CG8 scoop.

Mao had a thread full of CF goodies. Might find a scoop on there. Or talk to Tino who had heaps of CF bits made up for his rex-beast; they might be able to make up a scoop too.

Cardboard is cheap & light Tom. Maybe splash out & get yourself some Al foil too, you could get yourself a nice set of 20" rims too.



If you dont like the above style though, have a look at THIS link

Nope Simon the first option is better, I might even splash out and wrap a cornflakes box in Aluminum foil and tape it there for uber coolness..

I saw the 201 replica but I think i'll go with painting the Fibreglass 02 sti one, don't feel the need for extra attention from cops with a carbon or aluminum foil type..
