What do the scoops serve for in WRC? I was talking about the wing giving downforce, the scoop could possibly feed air to the cockpit, I'm not sure, but they do have roof scoops on WRC cars that are front engined, so they must be useful for something.

The blue one is sick!!! I wish Lexus would listen to our wants a little more than they do, they clearly have a good idea what we would like with CF (everything but the wing).

Hmmm. It would be painful if iCode put that license plate mount permanently on their offering. We don't have front plates in GA and with nothing on it, I'd call the mount straight up ugly.

No AC, windows don't wind down, it's there so the driver does not suffocate and/or cook.
