roof scoop (photoshop?)

anyone ever seen a roof scoop similar to the one from the green eclipse from the FNF. I have never seen one on a camaro and think it would be really rare and look nice, i am in the process of talking to the body shop guy about it. and pictures or even photoshops would be a big help

So it's just for rice?? No cooling effect what so ever just like the Eclipse??

I think it would look pretty ghey and has no performance effect at all and it would probably slow ya down

It might now "look" tooooo bad...
On the GTS-R Viper, it looks awesome...
But on the GTS-R Viper, it is actually a functional scoop...
If you just mount one on top of your car, all it going to do is create a nice little bit of drag, and not only slow you down, but give you worse fuel mileage...Not talking about losing gobs of power, but you might want to think about it...A scoop on top of a car that just catches air???

is there anyway that i could make it functional? like somehow routing the air flor back to the engine bay for cooling or even for intake purposes? of maybee i could use it to cool the back brakes

any suggestions?

that's a lot of modifications for just cooling the rear breaks. I know most mid/rear engine race cars use it for intake/cooling, but I can't see how you could use the scoop other else than as an appearance mod.
