the scoops are held in by 6 plastic tabs, while making them functional isnt a problem (behind the scoop is a big white sticker to reduce wind, but otherwise a pre-cut hole) the scoops will probably meet the same fate as "functional" GT hoods scoops and eject at high speeds. besides, brake ducts that big to rear wheels is practically useless, most braking heat/force accumulates on the front pads/rotors.

There's nuthin like a flyingside scoop. Being that they are held down by plastic tabs, I'd go with ponysnake99 on this one.

I think they'd be great for some twin turbo intakes
