Has anyone reversed the twin hood scoops for a cowl induction effect?

Very nice. I find some of the long dual scoop a little overbearing for the size of the car. However as mentioned in an earlier post, it depends on the paint scheme, for me anyway. Some folks change the color of hood or scoops which draws your attention to them. Then when they are not functional, you just wonder why. The reason for suggesting the reverse mounting would be to make them functional, albeit likely not 100%, however better than a scoop with no holes in the hood. The other issue I am trying to get some insight on is, how to handle rain if you have opening like yours or open holes with hood scoops. I am likely way overthinking this. Anyway, thanks for posting.
