I don't like it. It stick out too much. It would look better molded in, and yes the metal thing is just too funny.

I doubt having the scoop in the middle makes any difference considering the intake is on the far right side of the engine bay.

not to be to mean, but those hood scoops are pointless. and really dont look good.

if you had it taken to a body shop, and have them mold the vents in it wouldnt be so bad, and would look decent.

but i would loose the hood scoop, and front fender thing.

Why do you have two intakes, one higher up and one lower down? That looks way to big to simply be a bypass valve.

the lower is a feeder hose you ever raced in dirt? it gets nasty you don't want your air fillter to far down.

Um...what's the point in having it feed into the front of the filter, seems like it'd be completely pointless.

IMO your car isn't really that pretty. I don't like the hood at all, looks like you are trying to make it look like a Suby or something. You should definently get that wing you were talking about in the other thread, it will go nicely with the rest of the car.

And maybe some holy water.

I'm sorry, but that is just nasty looking. If you are racing on a dirt track, Why use a fairly new car?

Why use a lancer period, be better off with an old VW or something like that so parts are cheap and plentiful.
