The fender vents aren't going to address the main issue, which is getting the hot air passing out of the intercooler/radiator out of the engine bay. The only thing the fender vent does is give the air exiting your oil cooler a place to go.

The scoop may also make things worse. If you're pressurizing the engine bay through the scoop, you may stall the air coming through the radiator.
