Need help to choose from 1 of this?

Yea I agree...

Wow jo that one was tough though

...and I phrased it REALLY badly froom the get go.



Technical questions are one thing , I just feel that the "look" of a VX is very personal , and a matter of individual choice.

....and so it should be.

It should look how YOU want it to look!

Heck....many hate my cowcatcher !

But yer right...my bad for being so brusque.

Yeah but I understand what you meant.That's why i told costie have professional advice for the mod he's about to pull off,I mean no one here never,ever did this kind of mod on any VX.Personally I can't thing more on the VX's roof then a sunroof or fake antenna.Costie wants to "turn" the VX into a rally VX.however what intrigues me about costie's rally mods is the facts that the VX was born-made for all offroading purposes,including rally so mayor modifications aren't needed for the VX to performe flawlessly.The VX won the paris-dakar twice with no mods at all costie.
However costie do what you got to do,if you really wants that mod go ahead.

I would go #2 myself.

#1 just looks like it belongs on a hood, not a roof. IMO

Whoa, wait a minute....

If I am reading this right, you are looking at adding a roof vent? Ok, no biggie, but understand, you are looking at "hood scoops" there. You mount a giant STI scoop (picture 1) and I can almost guarantee that your aero will be !@#$ed beyond comprehension. You need to look at the Spec C type vent for the WRX/STI. Way more low profile and made to function (if installed properly).

I seriously wouldn't put a hood scoop on my roof, especially as an engine air intake. In rally, they are for interior cooling/circulation, not engine related.

The roads in Costa Rica are such that aerodynamics don't really come into play - but 3 ft of water does...

This is not only about the hood scoop itself,but modifying the roof;Costie will need to modify the front side of the roof to fit the scoop,which mean creating a sort of boxie looking mod,run air ducts from there to the left side of the roof,I don't know how he would fit air ducts within the roof & headliner (another required mod) + the VX's head clearance is limited that means less head room & less windshield sight & destryoing the headliner.I don't see that good at all.
I may be wrong,probably costie might have another setup,but after looking at my own VX picturing that mod I don,t see the VX's excelent aerodinamics design any more
