Does that price include the scoop, or just to have the scoop installed?

That's actually not bad either way, but ask them if they will guarantee their work for 5 years.

I've seen several aftermarket installed hood scoops that have cracked over time.

$350cn is $238 US. So that's really not a bad price. Jaws021/Assassin and/or 2Uniq can help you with problems/pitfalls of the install, as they both had the WRX Scoupe installed on their hoods. Jaws021/Assassin had his whole car repainted at the same time, and also had some other work done(Z-Shark fenders), so his price won't necessarly be comparable, but I think 2Uniq's install was just the WRX scoupe. The WRX Scoupe is a tad smaller, and so it's easier to install compared to the cadmuro scoop.

well lets put it this way, we charge 800 (u.s.), but you got to ask them , 1. how they will mount it. 2 will they rebrace the hood. and 3 will the use fiber glass on both sides of the hood. If the hood is not rebraced then it will crack, if fiber glass is not used on both sides of the hood it will crack, and if they use a bad glue to mount the hood it will crack.
