Default Roof scoop available for 08 STi?

Love the rally car's two roof scoops...especially the little grey one that sits above the driver...anyone know where to get these for an 08 STi?

The smaller gray pod is a camera mount. The larger centered scoop is an air scoop vented into the cabin.

I would like to see the back of that rally car. The wing looks kind of cool on there. I wonder if we will eventually be able to buy that?

Here you go. That was the first "WRC Concept" that gave us a peek at the '08 styling direction.

I don't think something like that wing would be offered on the STI ever... its ridiculously big and probably obstructs all rearward visiblity.

Now the hoodscoop idea would be nice. I dont' think there's a moonroof on the 08 STI, maybe they could install this instead. But it woudl disrupt the "stealthy" look they were going with the 08 STI. IT woudl throw the mature aspect of the car right out the window. How many cars have a roof scoop? The only one I can think of is the Lotus Exige S and its derivatives.

This is the only aftermarket wing Ive seen which is from varis. I wouldnt be surpised if someone does replicate the wrc one though......

yeah, because we all know the WRC is all about adding useless weight to their cars.

i agree... love that wing! STI should represent the WRC as closely as possible while still being street legal.

That is so bad ass looking! I wonder how much you could see out of the rear window. I would definetely like to see that as an option.
