For all that I know, no one has one of their Max.

IMO a hood scoop would take away the "classy" look of the Max and make it look very , but that's just my opinion!

What I do think would look pretty cool is two of those little scoops that you could put on the side of the hood...but MOLD them into the hood instead of just taping/screwing them in for a much cleaner look, OR get something like a Viper hood, functional, yet subtle look


Definitely not all of those slits, but something similar to what it has on the edges and then the front molding

I'm usually function>>Looks, but in this case it has to mold into the desisgn of the whole car and be very subtle.

Im in favor of a small scoop and maybe small vents on side. It is functional in that it lowers underhood temps and arguably, you may be able to save a bit of weight.

I agree, the only problem I see is that with the minimal space under hood already a proper vent that is molded might not clear underneath the hood. Perhaps more of a cowl induction design that raised the entire hood a bit but kept the same basic lines.

A hood scoop wouldn't look completely terrible if it was just small and fit well between those ridges that go down the hood. Something that looks like a stock Celica GT hood scoop.

Yeah the car needs a vent not a scoop.

Negative pressure vent will rid the hot gasses from underneath the car. One right over the Intake would help to cool it significantly.
