Hi there

For those who have an STi8, does the huge hoodscoop become annoying? How's the driving experience with the hoodscoop in the view? From the driver's seat, it probably takes up a fair amount of visibility.

Thanks

Ummmmm...you generally don't notice it after the drive home from the showroom(from a driving point of view, it's still darn ugly though). My wife complained about it yesterday, though, as she was backing out of a parking space and couldn't see how much room she was clearing a parked car with the corner by. But she's short.

You have to be careful you don't suck in predestrians as you go past them with that scoop! Still - doubles up as a decent Dyson to do a spot of hoovering though.
