Default Best side scoops?

The next mod is scoops. I know I'm doing the Cervini's window scoops, but what side scoops are the best by consensus?
My car:

Ford OEM side scoops or the CS side scoops.
Any that does not have a flange around it or that
does not conform to the rear wheel well opening.

I would do the Cervini's if you are using their window scoops.

My take on side scoops is that they look OK on dark color cars. I had GT/CS scoops on my car and they looked awesome from the front and front corner ... however, from every other angle they looked like an afterthought. They stuck out like a sore thumb. They look great on black cars and even dark blue because the seam where the meet the body just about disappears ... I took them off after about a week and sold them on eBay ...

LOOKS GOOD:

I've always liked the 3D Carbon Pony Vents. I haven't seen them though on anybody's car from several different angles to determine if I'd like them enough to buy them. I agree with dmhines that most scoops just stick out too much and look, for lack of a better description, stuck on as an afterthought. I know....they ARE stuck on. But they need to do a better job of integration with the car to look really good imo.

Definitely Cervini's. The GT/CS ones flow with the body just as well as Cervini's, but the fake grill on the front makes them look cheesy. The Cervini's ones flow a little better, and don't have a fake grill on them.
