Lol... usually don't hear that from STI owners... most i've run into who own it will also say it's beautiful. But i do have to agree with you, those things are FAST.
Subaru's are ugly in general, but only a few cars really appeal to me so I don't care too much about how it looks. There are a lot of Subaru people that agree they are kinda ugly, but when you've been around a lot of Subarus the STi is quite beautiful compared to the rest.
I think the hood would look fine without the scoop, just see some RS's with a few minor exterior mods it look a lot better.
Take a look this WRX (I-club member) with no scoop:
I know the intercooler is bright and draws away from the rest of the car, but hopefully everyone can see what I'm saying. I think it makes a big difference and with a black FMIC it wouldn't draw as much attention as it normally does (which is good IMO).
Also here is a quick video ( a bit dark) that has an RS with an STi wing (silver car), a pretty good visualization: http://video.rally1.com/Movie_0009.wmv
i love subarus in general... my fisrt one was a 85' wagon... sold it about 8 yrs ago with more than 150,000miles. the current owner has put at least another 100,000 on it and it still hauls ×××.
the past few yrs has been a big come around as far as styling goes. my has the aero of a ×××× brick going down the hwy, but i still get decent gas mileage. still love my buyeye scooby though.

Ugly as sin, but hey... 0-30 in 1.2 seconds and 0-60 in 4.7.... It will put up a good race against anybody out on the road.... and most likely smoke'em.

in the states theres the 02/03' models with 'bugeye' headlights. styling changed for the 04' with different headlights, more defined hood along with scoop.
before that both the uk and jpn had just the STi basically. and theres several generations of those.
