Oh, man. That's just wrong in so many ways...

Wouldn't it be easier to have a vinyl stick-on that looked like a scoop?

Stupid question here: Is it a good idea to cut holes in a car where holes don't belong?

Ed is going to get a pair of those, then he is going to fit them on the front hood for some extra cooling for his air sucker!

It's perhaps not as bad as that, but at the same time, trying to sell it might prove to be more difficult, especially to an enthusiast. On an off topic note, very clever user name.

At the risk of offending anyone who has done this ludarcis mod to their (otherwise perfect) car...

Why not just buy a mustang? I am fairly certain they come with a stock "faux-intake" on the rear quarterpanel without going through all the trouble of cutting holes in an (otherwise perfect) Porsche... If good old uncle Ferdinand wanted an intake on the NB he would have spoken from the grave to ensue it was placed there.

If anyone buys them they can borrow my Sawzall to install.
