    I always like the rear side scoops on the 69 Mach 1. I even have a set I cut out of one. But they will not work in a Maverick due to the shape. Then I found a set of 78 Trans Am front fender scoops and tried these in this junk car I'm getting ready to scrap. I am undecided because I dont think they do it for me, but I thought some might like them. So for your viewing pleasure...........

    Might be better aesthetically if it was angled upwards and a little more symmetrical. Just to take up some more of the space in that fender.

    But overall, don't do it for me either.
