After running a hand-sculpted hood scoop that fits into the stock hood hole for about three years, I have switched to the scoop from an 87 Impreza Outback Sport. If you get the scoop from an Outback Sport, RS or whatever and cut off all of its fasteners and underside protrusions, it can be glued down to a BC-BF hood and only sticks up around the margins by about 1/16th inch. To do it right, you must cut the hood hole about one inch forward until you hit the cross-brace. Also trim off the back of the hole to get rid of the old mounting "ears". If you are too chicken to cut your hood, you can still get it to fit, but it will be slightly too far back and your effective hood hole will be smaller and too far aft to feed your intercooler at maximun efficiency.
I am pleased with how the scoop compliments my 92 Legacy's appearance and I look forward to ducting it to my intercooler and to cool the turbo area.

Hood scoops
I priced that out for a new RS 2.5 scoop $240 plus the labour to cut a
bigger hole in my hood and then to repaint the hood and scoop.
