Functional hood scoops for a '95 Grand Prix?

As some of you know, I am building a custom intake for my '95 Grand Prix. Instead of just throwing a cone filter on the end of my stock tube, I wanted to do something interesting. My idea is this: since the stock airbox is completely removed, I could mount the battery sideways and move the WWAF tank to where the old airbox was. I could also move the fuse box that is currently behind the WWAF tank to this new locaction. This would give me room to run a 1' straight, 3" aluminum pipe straight off the throttle body into a cone filter. However, I want to feed the cone filter some nice air with a hood scoop, and I want two scoops to keep the look symetrical. I would prefer the "vent" style scoops that you see on some cars, but anything small and paintable would work. Any suggestions?

Run it down into the fenderwell or down behind the headlight. You will get better air Many people have done it this way. There are no hood scoops out there that are specifically for the Grand Prix. There is a GEN I ram air grand prix hood in development, but they have hit lots of roadblocks with it. IMHO, Ram Air isn't worth the trouble anyway.
