Has anyone made functional side scoops? I have a 03 GT and was thinking about taking them off and knocking out the honeycomb plactic then cutting a hole into the body for air flow.

 

You could do that, I dont know what the air flow is for but it can be done.

 

You must ride your brakes alot.

 

Side scoops are "supposed" cool your brakes

 

you can do it with some duct work very easy

 

They are there to look like they are cooling your brakes and I doubt if I made them functional they would even work but atleast they wouldn't be fake. Hood is going next. Just trying to get rid of all this fake crap hanging off my car.

 

There's alreadyopenings in the body, behind the fake side scoops--fairly good sized too, they have plastic sheeting gasket/seal stuck over them...

 

Even better. Well then this weekend I'll go to Home Depot and pick up some flex tubing and make them as functional as possible. Thanks for the replys.
