the one on the back is for aerodynamics...it helps keep the air down and flow under the Sti wing...as for the 'hoodscoop' on top of the windshield, i woudn't know...i've never seen it

Yeah, I'm pretty sure on the 08 rally car its still a roof vent for the cabin. Brake cooling ducts are usually near the wheels.
