What a great idea and design, the 2 scoops perfectly match the lines on the removable canopy…
This thing has bullet proof cooling qualities and now you put the nail in the head with getting that hot air out quicker!
Man...those look great but feels like a ton of work! I can't believe they don't make air scoops like this that are easier to install and require less disassembly. Pulling the factory glass doesn't look fun at all. Good video man!
This red C8 looks awesome. I like these little scoops.😻🙌
I think so too!
looks great, man!
i especially like the look from the frontal view, with the 2 vents up top
awesome job🙏
Same, I thought I would like it less than I do!
Wow! Pretty intense! Looks great.
Thanks! The install is not for the faint of heart.
wild how those scoops add a noticeable different look to car
Absolutely, it makes it look more exotic looking than it already is.
Glad I saw this. Have been looking for scoop options and had liked the Anderson Composite scoop, but it blocks the rear view camera and there was another that had side mounted scoops but not as attractive as this.
When I go to the local ice cream parlor I always get a double, two scoops on my cone. All kidding aside: The two scoop addition is thinking outside of the box and looks aesthetically appealing however it does require a lot of work to install...
nice work!!!!!
Great job, love your c8!
Thanks!
Awesome video once again great information. Great attention to detail. Exclamations are great.
Glad you like them!
I like your design better. How do I get my hands on a copy of your mold?
Hallo, ich bin Dieter aus Falkensee bei Berlin, habe auch eine C8 Bj. 2022 und finde es sehr gut, würde es auch gerne machen. Grüße aus Germany
It looks so good!
Looks awesome man!! Wow best looking c8 by far!!
Thanks
I added a roof scoop but a lot easier lol mine was a lot cheaper
But to each their own!! You did a great job for sure!! Your car is awesome!
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Nice job man, it looks awesome 👌
Thanks!
One of one C8 Lambo
Lol, yeah that’s what I’m worried about looking like a kit car or something.
That is sharp! Great video.
Cool vid! A temperature comparison video would be a sick punctuation to this!
I did temp comparisons before for the trunk insulation video I made and I ended up deleting it because everyone ended up arguing about real world conditions vs track…. So I don’t plan to do that again. My guess is there will be hardly any difference.
@@GhostSpeedShop ahh good to know. I’m still highly considering this mod.
Just keep your original glass in case you ever want to go back!
I like!
I love mine.
Hell yeah!
cleanest stingray ever
Incredible ! ! ! 🤩
thanks!
Any drawbacks? Seriously thinking about getting tbis in carbon fiber
You need a remote mic :). Not sure I would ever do this, glad you like it.
I’ve had non stop issues with mics but I’ll give my rodes another go
@@GhostSpeedShop maybe try the new dji one?
@@RoadLifePursuits yeah, that’s a good idea. I have been some of the other dji products and like them so I’ll check them out. Thanks for the feedback!
Its funny how you can put a Lambo style hatch on the C8 and everyone says it looks great but God forbid you put Lambo doors on a C8 and you get nothing but hate 🤣. Anyway I think it looks great!!! I'm definitely going to look into this one. BTW, what adhesive did you use to glue the scoops down?
Trust me, no matter what you do to this platform there’s going to be hate. I’m in my early thirties and everyone assumes daddy paid for my car and I’m “ruining” it by modifying it. It’s your car, do what YOU want to it and enjoy it. Not everyone needs to like it.
As for the glue, it’s included with the kit but it’s P550 window adhesive.
Literally
It's because Lambo doors have long been associated with the "ricer" community or a poser. I personally hate Lambo doors but everyone has their likes. I like these scoops BTW. 😂
Thanks for biting the bullet, looks like you might have to be fairly flexible to try to keep it clean, is the MSRP top-secret?
Keeping the glass clean would be wicked easy if you ceramic coat the glass. I didn’t mention the price because 2-3 years from now it could be different than what it is today. If you’re interested in the pricing, I’d message the company through instagram and get a quote. For me the pricing included shipping from Lithuania to Colorado and the total seemed extremely fair.
I paid full price, and only told the company I was releasing a video after it arrived to avoid any special treatment. Hopefully that helps!
as of this date, the cost was $………. problem solved. For your honesty, an excellent video
Yeah it’s also going to depend on color. I know originally they were only making them in black. This is the first color matched set so there’s a chance I was charged more than someone who would order black. I’d imagine the fancier colors will cost more. I will say, the color match is perfect though. I was worried about that since even my local paint shops can’t match colors properly.
Looks cleeeean!
I agree!
love it looks soooo goood
Thank you 😋
Looks 💯 Legit!
Thanks mark!
Woahhhhhcame out amazing the car looks even more aggressive now along with tht beautiful stance , what's the specs on the wheels and tires ??
I don’t recall the specs but on my channel I have a video of the install on the TE37s that breaks it down.

Looks good, but not good enough to go thru that entire process. Also, won't those new rear window slats now allow more water in the engine bay during a car wash or rain?
Rain, no more than usual as the glas overlaps from the top down. With a car wash it doesn’t even matter due to the open vents we have even stock. We have what I call a “wet engine bay” that required drying everytime the car gets wet regardless of which rear window setup you have.
Just to mention, those glass pieces are in 2 degree slope, that helps all rain to drain down 👌🏻
Good point Paul!
I don't get any water in my engine bay ever lol. Never drive my C8 in the rain and hand wash with C8 vent covers. Water + Metal= Rust no matter what they say lol
@@eddieespinosa2880 Thats great, I don't mind drying my engine bay though. It gives me a chance to look over everything, check for leaks and issues.
The fitting, test fitting, install, uninstall and the redundancy kills it for me, plus loss of rear defogger. Just me, but I don’t want to lose anything that the car came with.
Do you actually use your rear window? I have a 2lt and have no need to see out the rear window due to the camera on the roof sending the rear view to the mirror.
The refitting multiple times is because this is the first version of this setup and it came without a template. I do think the company will work on including a template after my feedback. (I certainly hope so) But yeah, as with anything measure twice, cut once.
@@GhostSpeedShop here in Indiana I actually do.
I honestly don’t know how lol 😂 I could never see out mine before. Occasionally some bright headlights would shine through from behind but that’s it. I can still see out the rear if i turn around now. But the car is garaged and I’ve never had to use the defrost.
This is pretty cool and your video really does a great job walking through the installation. Wonder if it comes in Carbon Fiber too?
Currently only fiberglass, but I could see them offering it in the future.
@@GhostSpeedShop I contacted them on Instagram regarding those air scoops and they were very fast to respond.
Good, did you tell them Maverick sent you? I’m interested to see if they throw in any surprises or anything.
@@GhostSpeedShop I told them I saw it on RUclips ghostspeedshop. Maybe they'll make the connection
Hopefully 🤞 thanks for tuning in!
So, I'm sorry because I'm slightly hard of hearing (to many years working in factories), and i could not hear what you said the supplier was for these. I was looking in the description to see if you put it in there, but i didn't see it. Could you let me know? I'm interested.
The company is called eightless designs. I removed them from the description due to quality issues I felt weren’t addressed.
@@GhostSpeedShop Thank you very much for getting back to me on this. Sorry I couldn't quite hear it and the close caption was no help. lol. So, I don't know if you can because of your channel, but if you can, would you mind elaborating on the quality issues? Thank you.
Just issues with bubbling, warpage and gaps between the sides and it appears the scoops are not identical between sides.
@@GhostSpeedShop Thank you. I appreciate it.
What lift is that on you garage? Looks cool and practical
DMs equipment
Where did get the black piece under the door scoop?
I made it. It’s just a piece of gloss black vinyl!
Nice...
How much???
You have to contact the company, the pricing changed with color and options.
How much cooling does it do?
I can’t really put a number on it at the moment. Technically the C8 doesn’t really need more cooling as it’s pretty efficient however there is no fresh air source from the top of the hatch from the factory, so I think the answer is; more than stock 😂 until I test it with an airflow meter and compare to stock. It’s also too cold currently in Colorado to test temp differences.
@@GhostSpeedShopBro i'm in colorado springs we need to link up I want to get that.
@@NO1CAN007go hit my instagram linked on my channel page. I can help you link up with the company
Where can I get these?
I’ll be selling my set soon
First comment.
lol thanks
