Also, with my vented fender liners, a scoop would generate air circulation where a hole in the hood covered with mesh might not. Not an expert here or anything but I think I'll give my guys at D&V a call and see what they think.
How is the fender vented? Behind fenders isn't the engine bay, it's normally the side of the fire wall and the reenforced impact rails the motor sits in between. If there is I direct link, adding a scoop doesn't mean air will enter and leave. Unless you can wind tunnel test, you'll have no idea whats going on and you could be killing your aero.
