I'm planning on doing this with a WRX intercooler . . . putting the air scoop with the air catch on it also . .. should look interesting and I don't have to butcher my front bumper.

I like the idea of hood scoops. Look at mine...

Yeah. It's a Cinco.

You can check out more pic's at http://www.cardomain.com/id/hideousracing


It gets lots of laughs. But, that's cool. Thats why I am doing it. Not too many people have thought of hooking up a KIA- especially not a KIA wagon.

Check this one though.

That's actually from a dealer in Canada.

I didn't mean to hijack this thread.
