There is no point in putting a scoop on the roof for an intake/engine cooling. Let me find a picture of the Jeffery's race car.

Here it is, the J/Sport race car. Notice the large scoop behind the rear side window? That's what you want.

Sure thing. Here is J/sport's web site- http://www.ne.jp/asahi/jeffreys/vw/

You're going to need to use Babblefish unless you already know Japanese.

Do what you want to do, not what others think is 'cool'.
If we all thought that way we we all drive the same car.

uless it is going to be functional which i doubt, i wouldnt bother adding more weight to your roof, which s the worst place to add weight as it raises your center of gravity.

roof scoops tend to look cheap and nasty, stay well clear.

I would suggest taking a note from NASCAR for this one and only instance. I have purchased some vents/scoops from Racer's Wholesale Parts and some aircraft grade airduct. If you don't worry about having rear passengers, you can mount the vents to lexan rear side windows ( NASCAR connection they use them for driver cooling also I think). The vents are then run back to the firewall where you attach the duct work to either a dryer type sheet metal reciever or you can get build your own intake pieces from Autozone for cleaner looking though similar reciever. The most drastic piece of body alteration will be cutting and sealing your firewall. This is the way I plan to get more ventilation. When I no longer need my car for work I will put this kit together. You could feasibly rig up some sort of sweet ram air deal from the engine side of the firewall with fiberglass or carbon fiber carb ducts. Just a thought. If I can be of more help, let me know. I have tons of great ideas and no money, lol. V3

what about something like this?







obviously since this is an oval, you'd hafta do it a lil differently, but that seems like a functional r00f sc00p that's more subtle...
