Doug Campbell removed his side scoops (they blew off at speed and he left them off) and it is a matter of taste if/how much you like the look. Remove your scoops. All you have to do is pull off the rubber trim, unscrew the countersunk screws and the scoop comes right off. The black plastic duct and surround (a somewhat dinky duct at that, more surround than duct to me) will be quite visible. I personally do not like how it looks but if your car is dark and the black plastic isn't as obvious, it might look a lot better than on a light bodied car where it standouts out.
