The Mk5 scoop is ABS, same as the Mk4. Very early Mk4 scoops were fiberglass. There has never been a CF scoop (aside from the ones that were integral with the hoods on the Carbon Fiber bodied Mk1s).Quote:

great, thanks for that insight, Jeff. Was concerned with the ABS wearing, but if that’s what they’ve been using the past 15+ years, I guess that concern is nullified. Besides the “my hood scoop is carbon fiber”, what would be the advantage is upgrading?Quote:
