you're not serious right
right???? 
it might HELP a little bit but I would not call it a performance enhancer....it's more of a LOOKS GOOD MOD
somethiong like THIS WILL be far more practical than a headlight scoop......

In all seriousness, I was thinking about gutting the right headlight and putting an air "scoop" right there that would go to a 3" intake tube and connect directly to the throttle body. (The airflow meter can be junked if you're going aftermarket ecu)
And then I realized I wouldn't be able to drive at night, so I just left the stock intake setup connected.

Cut a slit in the headlight about 4/5 of the way back... heat up the metal, lay it on a bean bag and beatt it down to the front and up to the back untill you get a football shaped intake hole.. with a slight valley leading up to the hole, and a small mound behind it. smooth out the dents as best as possible (less putty), putty it, sand it, primer it, glaze it, primer it, paint it.. done

Best Pic I have right now... but you can see the opening on the pass cover
PS.. regardless.. you have to remove the little gutter flap from the hood or it wont have any affect at all (I know a guy who put one on and left the flap on the hood.... duh
