Scoops add to downforce and drag... I think better to use vents instead of scoop... Can dissipate heat and also, being PU it shd be lightweight... So, like 2 in 1 lah... Just sharing my thought...

How much drag can it contribute?..Tink not much lah if juz for daily driving..even spoilers create drag...Let's face it, for most of us, it's more for looks..any benefits wld be bonus..but definitely not the big WRX scoop...tat's too much..juz my 2 cents..

Yo bro actually the amount of drag due to the scoop and dynamics contributes to more FC, pick up, etc during high speed. So if one always drives on highway, it makes a diff. Think i read an article comparing wrx and evo aero dynamics b4 on the fc and pick up. Thats y, a evo is always a evo... jemjem

Actually, if juz those 2 GTR vents only oso nice... ...Tis kind of project usually hard to take off lah...coz need support frm a set number of pple..and not so cheap.. ...If it's juz fibreglass bonnet, I'm not interested...If CF might consider, if the timing is rite..
