Pro mod scoop on Camaro

Hi,
Im gonna need some more room under the hood with my setup. The obvious answer, would be some sort of cowl induction hood. The trouble is, because of my location, Im looking at $400 just for the shipping?! Ive seen a pro mod style scoop come up locally for very cheap. My question is, how do they look on Thirdgens? Ive put a picture on of a scoop, not the same one, but very similar

Not a big fan of scoops.

I do know that problem with shipping cost.

Apart from that, I wouldn't even risk having a hood shipped because it will most likely end up being damaged in transit.

I guess that also explains the price of aftermarket bodypanels in Europe.
I'm building my own hood.

If you have a plain stock hood and someone who can work with fiberglass having one made is cheaper then shipping one from the US and then have a bodyshop repair it here.

Hope your car runs 8 seconds or faster if you have one of those scoops.
