Wanna see what a Hood Scoop looks like?

Saw this car on the street the other day....First I saw this big ol'tail on the back. I was like "OK". Then as I drove past the front, I was like "OMG! He has a hood scoop!!" I had to circle the block so I could get a couple pix. I've NEVER seen a W203 with a hood scoop before.

BTW, doesn't a "C350" have twin exhaust pipes like C32's? LOL

And I'm sure that hood scoop is fully functional and it routes cold air into the airboxes.

The crap some people do to make their cars look faster never ceases to amaze me.

i'm more shocked by all the other junk on his car.



btw, only the 07 C230/350 has the twin tip in fashion of the original C32 while having only a sport muffler. 05-06 only has oval tip.

Side vents and stripes on the side, too! Give him/her credit for not sticking on an "AMG" emblem.

Unfortunately poor taste is not limited to the poor.

Please take my pics down. Seriously, I'm not finished with it yet. Yeah it looks crazy, but that is my taste. It's my car, I can do as I please. The hood scoop DOES function. It cools my insulating blanket on the underside of the hood. And it's not from pep boys. It's from wal-mart, so get your facts right if you're going to make fun of me. You people don't have real taste, I'm pushing the MB scene forward here, while you guys just remain stagnant.
