it really doesnt seem to serve any real purpose... unless u had an air filter there... and an intake..... it really wouldnt make too much of a difference....

I don't particularlly like the looks, but it'll get cold air to your short ram, if you have one, giving you the benefits of an sri and a cai. Sort of.

Needs to be way bigger. Really massive. Not some little itty bitty scoop.

It would serve the purpose of him liking it. What purpose do altezza taillights or graphics or non-wind tunnel tested body kits serve? By the way, I don't really like it either.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

well, if you have an sri, and the scoop actually has a hole in it, then maybe...like a 5.
but then again, every time i see a mustang with one of those i laugh at it because its non-functional...so expect to be laughed at...ALL THE TIME!!

but in the end its all about your personal preference...i mean kaminari has a FG hood with a scoop, and no one blatantly makes fun of the people on this site that put that attrocity on their car. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

you guys don't understand the fact that joe said "for looks only", do yall? i don't like it cause it doesn't match the lines of our cars. NOT because it's not functional, or it's rice, or there's no turbo, etc.

i actually think it could match pretty well if its done right. and with all the other work hes getting done to his car it might look damn good on his car...
but id make it functional too...at least in getting some air to the engine bay. its not like the base impreza had a turbo or anything and it still had that scoop. its a personal thing.
