Default Window Scoop Mod

So, I've seen this on American Muscle...



...and I can tell it's a valiant attempt at looking like this.



My question is this. I'm not trying to be a dck or anything, I'm serious. When you do this mod and you get in the back seat are you looking at the sticky tape and the inside of that thing through the back side window? I'm just curious, I'm not looking to goof on anyone's mod.

Truth be told, I've been thinking about ways to make my side vents and hood scoop functional, but of course that appears to be a losing proposition without doing some serious fabrication.

I personally do not like them on the new edge... But to each their own.

I saw them on a '02 GT at a show in Daytona, from the inside you are looking through the rear window into the backside of the scoop, no tape is visible and if the scoop is sealed up tightly its inside is pitch dark so you cannot really see anything.

BTW the car was black and they did not look bad in real life, much better than I thought they would...

I don't have those stick on ones, but rather an entire panel that replaces the stock trim. U don't see anything from the inside of the car except...well black. Its not hard to make them functional at all, all i would have to do is remove the class and run duct work to whatever I want them to cool.

As these guys mentioned above ^^ it's so dark that you can barely see the back side of the scoop. Plus, if/when you can, you're still not able to see any kind of 3M tape. IMO, the scoops look clean on New Edge Mustangs and not out of place!
