So I want to find a hood for my m/y 2002 forester that has a factory scoop to replace my hood with. When I call the salvage yards, what do I ask for?
Thanks,
Michael
The US Forester didn't get a hoodscoop til the 2004 XT SG (SG started in 2003). You have a 2002 SF model. The only direct OEM replacement hood with a scoop will have to be imported from overseas. There was no USDM SF model with a hoodscoop.
Sometimes the JDM SF turbo hoods pop up on ebay, so keep an eye out there too. Just make sure the fitment is for the face-lifted SF (01-02); the earlier hoods won't fit.
