Hmm, they're right! In a first-gen Justa the intercooler simply isn't under the scoop! Neiother is it under the scoop on a second-gen Justa.
But since this thread is a first-gen thread...on a first-gen "S"...
My cheapskate mod: Moog endlinks. 2x thicker than OE, with zerks on the ends, pretty nice, inexpensive "mod".

TY! It was a long, stop-and-go kind of project. The piece of aluminum sat for almost a year, then was cut to shape and sat for another year. Things accelerated late last year, when I got the decal I used to keep the shiny bits from getting etched when I poured ferric chloride on the thing. I should've videoed the etching process. VERY active reaction. "Very GRRR, baby, yeah!"

Scoop and Headlight Trim
For the scoop i took it out. For the headlight trim i just masked around it. The glory of Plasti dip is if you get it somewhere you dont want it, it peels off !
Make sure you use the dip right.
Well shaken and warm can
2 light coats, 3 heavy coats. Peel your masking tape right after the last coat to prevent the lines from getting messed up.
If you mess it up. Peel it and start over !
The whole project took about 30 minutes in the hot Texas sun

I love the carbon. I did mine with black leather with red stitching. It came from here: Top Gaiters.
The quality is good the price is good. You have to apply it to the existing dash. But it pops off to make it easier.
