Default 1967 Shelby Side Scoops

got a pair of fiberglass lower shelby side scoops as a vday present. they are the "functional" type. can someone tell me how side scoops are "fuctional"? i always thought they were for show only. also, how do you install these?

There is a section cut out behind them allowing air to be directed at the rear rotors, thus cooling them.

you can make it functional in for thecoupe but that makes it so the little rear window non functional, if i had a coupe i'd wouldn't make emm functional if i had a fastback and had the skills, time and or money i'd make emm functional
