I like it. Looks good!

In the second pic it appears you can see through the back portion which would mean its probably for looks. Personally I think it looks like crap, it does not flow with the car at all. It doesnt have the same archs\lines as the hood scoop and its way to bulky for the top of the car.
I would also agree with the person that said it makes you look like a ricer. Ditch it but not all the way, maybe go with something about 3\4 the height. I dont think the width really matters considering it would look good wide(hood scoop width) or skinny.
Either way its your car and you obviously have the cash so really its up to you.

put some of the SWRT decals on it and it will blend in a bit more. I think it looks pretty on par with what the WRC car looks like. It looks a little tall I think because you're missing the rest of the rally gear.
btw the scoop IS used to put fresh air into the cabin in a WRC car, because WRC cars from my understanding don't have A/C because the compressor gear weighs quite a bit, and takes power away from the engine itself.

Yes the rims a Rota's and the tires are Nokian Hakka 2's studded,I was looking for a scoop a little lower,but I couldnt find one.I have allways wanted a scoop like the WRC cars and this was the closest that I could find.
