Stay away from Turbo look fiberglass bumper covers, these things are evil !! I bought one for my N/A and it took a ton of work to make it look decent, Its still not 100%. The fit is really bad and they require additional work to make them look good, the side marker holes are no where near close to stock and require reshaping. I'm not quite sure who made mine but I Automotion used to sell them.

they still do, but they are expensive. I see what your saying, but I want mine to be unique, a lot of people add the turbo front to their car. The look of your car is exactly what im going for, but i want the scoop placed as close to the cone filter (when I get it) as possible.

dont get a cone filter, it will not give you any performance benefits and depending how you set it up may in fact harm your performance. the only upside to an exposed-element filter is the intake sound that is normally muffled by the large airbox. the stock airbox is not restrictive and is a pretty ideal setup if you can live without hearing your induction noise. the biggest restriction in the intake is the AFM, even the throttle body is a pretty decent size until you seriously start making power

but the scoop will be right over the cone filter = more power

the scoop would have to be at the very front edge of the hood to do much of anything and would need some fancy ducting work to use it as an intake pickup
