Looks similar (but different) to the Amemiya scoop.

Wow! That is nice. I bet it works great for idle and low speeds.

I wonder what it looks like from the front?

It looks like a custom made rotor piece just glued on. Perhaps the original hood is cut underneath so that the vent actually does something. Totally custom.

Is that hood scoop from the crazy skull car? ( Which happens to be in the pictures in the latest Mazda Zoom-Zoom magazine, and their article about Sevenstock )
