Default What are the most functional looking/best side scoops?

I know I'm not too happy they won't be functional either, but with that in mind I actually want them to LOOK as functional as possible I was wondering if you guys could offer some sugdestions as to which possible ones would fit the bill best?

I like the Shelby/CS ones the most and if a set that doesn't look better and more fucntional than them doesn't pop up, I was planning on modifying these shelby parts by cutting out the honecomb part by contracting them out to a laser machinst and adding some faux duct work to make them look very very real.

but yeah, thoughts?

The GT/CS ones do not look functional at all. They're alright looking, but the black honeycomb is right up front and it's very obvious they do nothing. Cervini's FTW also.

I agree one up close look at them makes me think, "wow they weren't even trying". From frurther way their shape is extremely high quality, and like I said my backup plan is to have a laser machinist cut out the hone combs from scoops for $60 as well as the other points I stipulated (adding duct work).

My issue with Cervini is their scoops have no grill as far as I can tell.

There is no body part functional enough to make a difference. Pick the one that makes you happy.

No grill? Big bug catchers over time?
I was afraid my Roush hood scoop
would not catch too many bugs and
get them lodged in there between the
scoop and hood.[:@]

Yes it does but it is inset about 2-3 inches to
make it kinda disappear from view.

Definitely Cervinis. Same for the window scoop.
