I say no to all three. I kind of like your car without a scoop. For some reason it just flows nicely that way.

My thoughts exactly. I like the subaru one though...
Although it will be "functional" it won't be functional. the hole in the hood will help it cool, but the air going into the
functional
hood scoop won't have a function. make sense?
to put it another way, you don't have a turbo that needs air flow back there. If you wanted to cool the engine bay/exhaust manifold you could put the scoop farther back, but i don't think it would have any benefits, and it would probably just get in the way of your vision. Having driven a WRX the scoop is a bit high.
My vote is a no to all three as well. I hope people don't flame you too much... good luck!

yeah, I vote no too. I think you could spend that amount of money better on something else for the car.

If you have to have one, get a SRT hood.

don't go aftermarket, your car looks good as it, but if anyting get a SRT hood then you will have a functional scoop if needed.
