You don't need to cut the roof if you are just putting it on for the RICE factor...But if you want it to actually do more than get laughed at, you will need to cut the roof, and chat to an engineer before you do it. The roof is a structural part of the car and is not meant to be cut...
you're openeing a whole new can of worms in terms of water/rain leaks if u cut a hole in the roof.. roof scoops are great on NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND.. leave them there IMO.
even if u dont cut a hole in the roof
imagine the amount of dirt/mud build up
just asking for rust!
stupidest thing i ever saw was a WRX with a bonnet scoop and a roof scoop that lead to nowhere.. stay far away!!
something different i guess
please dont do it
These "roof scoops" are actually vents, common in rally cars for ventilation cause they drive with the windows up especially on dirt (gets very dusty - and also to a some extent, for aerodynamics).Quote:

The roof ones won't lead to anywhere, unless it is actually a rally car, so 99.99% are wank factorQuote:

just because u dont like it there is no reason to flame them for it, the modifying world would be very boring if all the cars looked the same
