I always kinda liked the look of a single left one...Extremely pointless on a turbo car, but I almost put one on my old n/a...decided against it in the end.

Could be seen as slightly ricey, but at lease the engine is back there.

They clear the engine bay hood perfectly, well my Authentic Bomex's do. You just replace the side engine covers, with these scoops, and thats it. Tell you the truth, I think its all for style, more then functional

Everyone has there own style, and preference

Agreed

But, i would have to say, out of the 2 scoops, the bomex would be the less functional of the 2

If you ignore opinions about how these scoops look, it's a fact that colder, denser air will be closer to the ground. I wouldn't run my intake into that scoop unless I wanted to do some water warding.
