You just gave me an idea for the scoop.

It's bad, and he was referring to iamdickie's pictures. Yours are much prettier, but I must say that scoop looks to be pretty far from the intake. Or maybe it's a zetec? Anyway, I'd be curious to see how you routed the air from the scoop to the engine.

As is it wont put any air into the eninge bay at all. If he made it function and it was facing forward it would bring air in, cool down the engine, and even though its far away from the intake, cooler air in the general area would help. If he puts it backwards and makes it functional it looks like a cowl hood and even then it would function to cool the engine down, which is always a plus. I forget what they're called ( a nacaduct?) but i've seen a guy put one on his contours hood right above/infront of intake, and then put a cover over it, and the same on the otherside. it looked pretty sweet, somewhat similar to the way that the new SS's have theirs.

Actually, unchannelled airflow into the engine bay via a scoop could make the engine run hotter, as it will decrease the pressure differential across the radiator, resulting in less airflow/cooling of the engine coolant.
You need a sealed duct system from the hood opening to the airbox.

scoops look good molded with a bodykit and 1.5" drop. You gotta go all the way with it

Looks like a $15 ebay hood scoop. Shouldve gotten the original mustang hood scoop! They are a bit expensive but its worth it.
