but functional functional functional
Ugly is in the eye of the beholder - that duct is there for a reason- IC work better with air flowing through them. this one also has water mist helping it.

Hey guys, been reading through the comments. Think I need to go through and clear up some things.
- The driver side in my mock up paint pic will be above the air filter, under the hood it will have an arched sheet of metal to curve air down onto my conical filter.
- The middle air duct is really not drawn well at all. lol sorry about that. for one it will probably be placed back a little farther and have a lower profile.
I'll try to see if I can get a nicer mock up done today or over the weekend. I have the next 2 days off from work as well so I"ll have the free time.

titan...if you have photoshop you could probably make a muuch nicer mock up. I'm sure you knew this but it would make things a lot easier

I like it, too. 
If you get a chance, you should mold it into your hood - the contour is all about smooooth.

I don't think the scoop is ugly. Its all about personal style. I like things more to symatry. I did a hand sketch today in the shop class. I'm going to try to scan it into the comp as soon as I post this.

I printed the black svt in grayscale on a school comp. Then I sketched this over top of it. Like it better then my other, but still not to my complete liking.
