I love the scoop. Anybody with a non-functional scoop deserves you pulling up next to them for a lesson in form following function. Stick with what you have. If you go turbo later, keep the hood opening and convert it to a heat vent. By the way, did you notice a temp drop with your wrapped header?

Between the wing, wheels and scoop, you have a very sharp visual upgrade package. If the scoop was non-functional, it would need to go. As it is, it works quite well. Only thought/suggestion might be to see if you could anodize the scoop to match the wheels since they are predominately anodized gold. Personally, I'd run it the way it is and tell everyone else to STFU.

i say loose it and fab up a nice cold air intake or something to the lower front.
the big chrome scoop takes away from the appeal of the car. draws your eye to the hood not the nice lines and rest of car.
also looses all sleeper status and rain/ bug/ debris will get sucked inot it easily. been there done that on several old American cars in past.
so my vote for no scoop.

hawt scoop. glad you kept it!
If I could afford that blower, I'd do the exact same thing!
+1 on an airdam. But thats my personal opinion. Either way looks schweet!
