I am creating a mold for an air intake scoop that will mount on the B pilliar.
My intention is to keep things close as possible to the stock look. I also wanted something that I could remove if need be( that's why I decided not to go with fender scoops). With this preliminary setup( pictured), I am not sure if it will scoop enough air. it stands off about 2" from the pilliar. The other option is to make the outside somewhat round, similar to the top scoops of a Bugatti. I'm also open to all other ideas. Thank's, Keith Attached image(s)

What about a roof scoop ducted through the roof and through the firewall right at the cooling fan?

Here's a pic. of what I added to get air into the bay. I love it!! I think I will stick with this one! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The tubing only covers about half of the hole on the side of the engine bay lid. The CHT's where a bit cooler than without them. The one thing I did notice is that, while a freeway speeds they seem to stay a bit more stable. Where I normally see temps. of 365 I saw temps about 357-360. Also the intake air temps where lower by about 3-4 degrees. So for the most part, I think it makes a bit of a difference and is worth pursuing. Attached image(s)

keith we got that stripped targa top if you want to mod it for a roof inlet... you can have it. would be easily removable in the winter/rain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
