I think ive seen one 8 with a scoop. totally useless, but its your 8.

think it was white...


woops, forgot to add- scoops can be purchased from any auto parts store, pep boys, checker, advanced, or almost all after market body kit manufacturers. buy it and fit it to your 8, nothing made specifically for 8

jesus christ -- NO... just NO.

correct me if I'm wrong but the purpose of a roof scoop is for mid engine cars that need a "cold air/ram air" intake. correct?

all you are going to do to your car is add un necessary weight, increase drag, and decrease fuel economy, and HIGHLY increase your rice factor.

for cars that don't have the moonroof air will flow in and push the car backwards.

for cars that do, place it midway between the roof and the glass. i believe when opened all the way, the air will flow into the scoop and exit applying a downward pressure on the rear of the car, creating more drag.
