Hood vent opinion
What do you guys think of this on an '04 STi?
My only concern is it might deflect air from entering the hood scoop.

If you're an Evo wannabe, then do it. What's the point of it, anyways? It lets all the hot air out of the vent, and it gets sucked right back in through the scoop...? Sounds like a poor design.

The reverse scoop with the frontmount looks good.
