Those scoops are cool. But aren't they actually moving high pressure air from the scoop to the wheel well, not the other way around? At 6:05-6:21 you can see the smoke go into the scoop and come out the wheel well.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
