You can always get a Kenne Bell supercharger and that will relocate the intake.

Look near the bottom of the page.

We have a winner! Yes, air is coming in from the gap between the hood and headlights. This is why most hoods will shake at high speeds.........

I thought the hoods shake because there is too much air getting in there at high speeds and it is trying to get out...

but without a straight shot to outside air it seems like the stock Bullitt intake will be drawing in at least some warm air from the engine bay.
