Well I'm not sure I was going to make it functional. Hell half the ducts, slits and cavity's in all the Lancer Body Kits I have seen have no real purpose but to make the car look better.
I doubt his is functional either but it does add a unique flare to the car that very few other lancers will have. I have heard alot here about people wanting their cars to look different then everyone elses and I find it hard to think anyone here would not think that no matter it's function it has some appeal to them deep down in their rally evo hearts.. =)
to make it functional if I'm hard pressed to maybe I'll put a whistle up there... or a wind speed gauge :P

i could make my car unique by putting a steel rod that extends through the windshield and into the cabin. no one has that. then again, there's a reason no one has that.
now i guess that doesn't really compare to a hood scoop, but IMO that just screams out RICE. doing stuff to be different is not always good.

The hood scoop on tights car cost like around $80 and he has a guy that does awesome body work that installd and painted it for like $150-200 I think. (dont quote me on the instal and paint price) but anyway if you really want the scoop and everything come down to SA sometime, pm tight, or look up Top Notch Performance in SA and give them a call. they can get anything at really good prices. By the way if any of you have not seen tights car in person i have to tell you it is amazing. they spent alot of time on it. everything is done nicely and cleanly. he even had his rear bumper seemed together to his rear quarter panel. the kit he has is authentic jspec and was fitted quite well. His car is a show car and needs to be seen in person before you say something dumb.

having a scoop on the roof is all show and you don't have to cut a hole in the roof.

The scoop would be nice if functional. And I have seen his car in person.
I'm sorry, I like tightlancer as a guy, and I respect the amount of sheer will he put into that car, but, the end result isn't exactly my speed, or anything I myself would do. But, to each their own.

actually, as stated previously, it isn't actually a "vent". it is just a little piece of body work that is smacked on top of the roof. great if your into that sort of thing. not a big fan of body kits myself, and this particular mod just seems like adding air resistance to me.
HAHAHAHAH!!!! smaller rims in the back?!!??! what an uffing moron!!! 
or does his car look lower in the front? think about it!!! his car is, dare i say, tight!? sweet lord! dont sit there and tell me if his car passed you on the road you wouldnt need a neck brace! ive seen the **** in person and cant belive its a usdm lancer!! sweet **** dogg!

I've voiced my opinion in this matter before, and like I said, it's nothing personal, but, just my opinion. Alot of it looks sloppy to me. Just my opinion. I'm impressed with the amount of work that went into it, but, that's about it.
