Default Has anyone trid making their side scoops functional?

If anyone knows what all is entailed with this or if anyone knows of a kit anyone has to do this please let me know. If there is not one would anyone be interested if such a thing did exist. But I still need to know what all is entailed in doing this. Where the side scoops are is that behind the inside pieces or is it pretty much flat with the wheel well. If it is almost flat with it I can probably cut out the wheel well and drill holes in the fake screen an put it back together to get the desired effect if not I need to fabricate an extension that would go through the wheel well to make it functional.

It can be done, but the question is WHY, just for the looks? or you have a practical need to do it. I tell you because even in the most extreme conditions the rear brakes barely need extra cooling.

Any extra cooling that the brakes can get will help extend their life. Plus, even though as far as I know ford never did it they were originally intended to be functional according to the original prototype. Besides Lightning is eventually going to become a racer and as such I would like the extra cooling to the them. I have already opened up the front to let the front brakes get extra cooling and I would like to let the rears benefit as well. I just need to know how to get it done.
