What about a T-Panel in cf with exposed grain/pattern?
Can't decide if it would look awesome or dorky...........................

Yea I think I remember seeing DMCCA selling them in years past. I've been thinking of trying to make scoops for quite a while. My plan was alwasy to have them be completely enclosed, except where the vent allows air in currently. iInstead of being just a shell, they would essentially be a tube with the inlet at the front end, and an opening at the back end that encases the current vent. The lower part of the scoop/tube would essentially follow the contour of the window and I would adhear them directly to the window. I wouldn't want to black out the entire window, just the part that the scoop actually covers.
I was getting close to pulling the trigger on trying to make some but if this sale happens, I may hold off and just buy them. I suppose it depends on the time frame and estimated cost. I think I can make a set with fiberglass for ~$100 but then of course theres always the possibility I completely fail, haha.

Ding Ding Ding! The ones that I'd seen for sale had these huge exposed flanges and double-sided tape. (nasty) I was planning the approach that Nick described above.
Edit: I found a shot of the type with the flanges (I do NOT like this style)

Agreed, I would never want them to touch the stainless. To me the ones that stick to the stainless look rather cheap and poorly crafted. They remind me of a generic scoop from Pepboys instead of a scoop thats made for the specific vehicle. The least they could do is have their flanges go inward instead of outward. I'm sure they do their job, but to me you have to fit both form and function, not just function.

If you are looking for weight savings, the engine cover and louvers would be the first place to start.
Carbon louvers, side skirt, and front spoiler would be modern look.

I am interested in an engine cover, slightly modified with additional grills for improved under-hood venting (I have a high mounted turbo+cast iron header).
Also, I saw somewhere where someone had a completely opaque engine cover; I just can't remember where I saw it; could have been made out of Lexan, polycarbonate or similar. Does that ring a bell with anyone?
