But if you like, go for it!

aerodynamics aren't that bad in the box, its very equal to most wagons. Also, wind drag doesn't matter unless your driving 90mph+. I.E top speed.

A non-functioning hood scoop is no more pointless than a rear wing on a front wheel drive box. While neither serves a purpose performance wise, they look cool. Can't wait to see it painted up.

Lund (of all people) makes a WRX copy scoop that looks very promising... I'm considering it because it looks like it sits more flush than the real WRX one.
