They are all off center, for a reason. The intercooler is set a little to the left thus the scoop is.

I heard that besides the fact that the intercooler is off center that when Mazda was designing the Rx-7 they decided to make it off center to make the car look rebellious. Aparently at the time that sold in Japan, i dono. In any event it is just a rumor I read on another post and it probably holds no truth.

Here's one with a Mustang/Capri hood scoop. You could put it on a n/a hood and cut a hole. If I ever have a v-8 in my car and can't fit it all under the hood, I'll do this.

I thought it was off-center b/c the intercooler was off-center, like they said above...
