I know damn well you didn't put f'n flames on the car did you...?
I just repainted it again with a candy electric blue over black basecoat, with a violet ghost shimmer pearl on top. It's basically a color change blue to purple chameleon, but the chameleon effect is subtle, it's more like a shimmer. No flames this time around.

there are some pix of the blue/purple going on, the effect looks exaggerated/splotchy in the pix because there are no less than 6 light sources in my garage...

look at the bottom of...

Scoops are for asthetics only, there is no proof that they work (course there isn't that they don't work). I have one on my car, and it's for looks, not functionality.
Mine really work, the ones you see for sale are like a bent profile that's half an inch wide, no room for any air to flow, no air will ever make it down them. Mine are huge and have a large swept inner profile the whole way in (look at the mesh in the first pic up top, you can visualize the air path), and dump a massive amount of air down the scoops. I didn't make them for putting air in the engine bay, at the bottom of each scoop is going an oil cooler, it's as good as having the oil cooler on the front of the car.
