How is the fender vented? Behind fenders isn't the engine bay, it's normally the side of the fire wall and the reenforced impact rails the motor sits in between. If there is I direct link, adding a scoop doesn't mean air will enter and leave. Unless you can wind tunnel test, you'll have no idea whats going on and you could be killing your aero.
