thrash wrote:vents are cool.. gives the car a muscle car look.. woulda been cooler if the vents had a purpose though.. why hasn't anyone tried opening up the bonnet scoop and putting a flat pannel air filter directly under it?? short path to turbo.. fresh air supply.. what's the problem?


no scoop is cool too..gives the car a nice sleek look.. plus it's not any worse at cooling than the scooped bonnet.. shame really.. all in the name of show..

i currently have two bonnets, both with scoops.. might swap one with someone for a scoopless bonnet so i can have the best of both worlds :D
every single starion i have had the first thing iv done is pulled the two small vents out, and drilled out the bonnet under neath them.
peel the rubber of the back of the vent and there ya go, vents that actually work.
seemed to do reasonably well at getting some of the hot air out as well.
oz, here i come....

no no no that's not my point..

my point is i think it shameful for mitsu to just put the vents and scoop in there for show only, when almost ALL of the rest of the car is superbly functional AS WELL AS looking good
