I have to say if you put a the impreza bonnet scoop on the roof to be used as a roof vent then;
(a). This is out & out boy racer.
(b). You are IMO stupid.

p.s. The old shape STi roof vent was very neat in appearance and so not boy racerish. IMHO.

If you want one, at least put a real one on!
These cars should not have 'fake' bits!

Agree with Juan - If you want one gett a real one - although it may cause a few problems if when you sell your mota, perhaps a stick-on one is better from this POV - Does beg the question WHY?
I understand the 'vent' it to do just that, help ventillate the mota.

Thinking about it - i would not do it.

While you're at it, you could "slam" the car, fit 24" wheels, black out the windows, get 15 12" subs and amps, and get a "Kenwood" sticker for the rear window.

Just my tuppence

If you put a roof scoop on and dont vent it somewhere, surely when you are "pressing on", unless it is stuck like **** to a blanket, it will rip off leaving a mess on the paintwork ????

Only do it if you have full rally livery and your car actually 'looks' like a rally car. If you've gone that far, then why not

But I assume you haven't

Hmmm, my wife wants one on the 22B, but worried about wind noise and another target for bit-ripper-offers.
We tried one on for size a couple weeks back....tempted

You could put one one - and then block up the bonnet scoop to make that fake as well.

Now if you owned a Nova .... that would be a different story

Will it help the car roll back on to its wheels?
If so then it has at least one use.
