Some might also say that rear-facing doesn't look as cool as front-facing. ;)

Not much worry about this in a forward facing for several reasons.
1 There is more garbage on the road coming up than would be above the hood.
2 Filter can be put in place to filter out bigger pieces
3 The top can hang out urther to keep stuff from dropping in (rain, acorns etc)
4 More water comes up from puddles than would drop down a small dam at the bottom would help even more.

Sounds good to me, I'd prefer a forward-facing scoop so I'll let you talk me into it. ;)

Like to see a bulging cowl induction style piece vs totally flat. The WRX scoop always looks like an old dryer lint trap. I know the opinion is based on a completely cosmetic opinion, but that style doesn't do it for me. It looks like an afterthought.
