The scoop may also make things worse. If you're pressurizing the engine bay through the scoop, you may stall the air coming through the radiator.

Correct.

Wait the fender thing is the vents installed in front of the tires? Then a modded fender in the back? Yeah that's going to do nothing for engine bay heat even with a hood vent/scoop.
