If replace one of the headlights with a big air intake pipe...

The faster you drive, the more air get compressed, cheap way to supercharge, isn't it?

It's not really a way to "compress" air, it's more of a way of "forcing" air. Compression is from a supercharger/turbo that pressurizes air through metal tubes and without all the pressure, it's not compressed, so therefore it's not supercharged...
BTW: Supercharging refers to a belt-driven intake system, rather than a turbocharger which refers to a means of compressing exhaust gas and reusing it as intake.

if you replace one of your headlights with an intake, you get cited for only having one headlight...

its ram air, not supercharging. it would be a fully functional ram air.

If you're going to make a Ram-Air, then it would look much better if you just cut out a hole in the hood and placed a scoop over it, and ran a duct down from there to the intake. Rather than it looking completely welfare with a missing headlamp and a massive hose hanging out. Anyways, it's a retarded idea, so I'm going to have to say that I agree with r8erz4life and Jet-Lee on this one...

Even an offset scoop, smaller in size, wouldn't look too terribly bad, especially if it was fully functional....actually thought of doing it myself.

I think that a scoop would actually look good on an Escort...

All right, you do that, and if you actually decide to do it, send me some pix...I think I'd try it on our scort as well...
