Hood scoop mod

Has anyone taken out the pieces of the hood scoop to make it a working scoop?
and is there anything back there that is sensitive to the water that could possibly be coming in?

ahhhh, slightly cooler engine temps, less air drag
edit: maybe?

 

actually thinking about it ur prolly right, since cars that actually use them, race cars, use them to get downforce, touche

 

Actually race cars use them to get air to the intake, nothing to do with downforce. Downforce would be better without it.

 

bahaha no. My Subaru STI uses it to get air on the intercooler for the turbo.

 

i know that.
and im done quite making me look stupid
thanks

 

I was surprise to learn that the hood scoop on our Tacos are for aesthetic.
My brother was the one who told me. He even popped the hood of one of his friend's Tacos and I looked at it.

 

and the newest gen celicas have one for the radiator
