Introduction / History
European and Korean
shipped Santa Fes' have a Bonnet (Hood) Scoop imbedded within their
hoods for the intercooler of the diesel versions. The USA shipped models do
not. But through a few online parts companies such as TFR Racing, on can
attached a plastic Hood Scoop to their hoods. This modification shows how to add led lights to the inside of the Hood Scoop to give it that unique aftermarket glow effect. |

In doing this mod, I
originally wanted to find something that would extend the assembly up by 3
inches and look professional almost OEM like. I started to look at the
striker (item #3) and see if I could get something to raise it up. I then
thought of using extension rods like the ones you use in an umbrella with
little metal pegs that pop out to lock but I could not find a way to cut it
right to size. Unfortunately there was nothing that would not look too out
of place. So I decided on the pillow method for the time being. I am
providing the parts list for the center console ( See picture.) for those
that might have another idea on how to do this. If you do, then feel free to
contact me and I would display it and acknowledge you as the modifier.
