A functional roof scoop (as seen on rally cars) is there for air flow. No AC, no open windows. It pays to have fresh air.

Bingo.

Otherwise, no real function. I would love to see someone, somehow, use it to make functional ram-air induction.

i prefer the evo style hood with the open vents, rather than a hood scoop, looks a bit subaruish? I'd like to see someone install a functional roof scoop!

To make it functional just go out and buy a functional one here's the link about 200 bux for the parts you just need to take it somewhere to get it installed.....cutting the roof, of course is required. http://www.writerguy.com/primitive/body.htm#hoodscoops
