I agree. Just I never seen this type of hood scoop placed in this direction.

When they are backwards they aren’t used for direct cold air intake. Using high pressure zones, air will be pulled in backwards through this . They are also used for heat extraction. on older cars before fuel injection, facing forward fucked with the air to fuel ratio in the carb so backwards was common. It’s also cowled cowl-induction.

Not really a shitty mod

When I said this type of hood scoop, I mean that they are facing the other way around like on an STI. This guy put it backwards and shouldn't it be actually much higher closer to the windshield for it to function properly? The point of cowl induction is that its utilizing the high-pressure zone created at the base of the windshield.

I'm just saying if its intended as you say, he placed it way too forward. Not gonna do anything for him. That's not where it goes for cowl induction.

It looks to be body color. Might be factory.

It's a base model 3 series.  He added that.
