Do-Luck Scoop Airflow??

I'm thinking about getting a scoop in order to feed some air to my intake, but I'm not really a huge fan of the toms scoop. The Bomex looks a little better but by the looks of it I doubt there would be any practical air flow through it.
 
The only other option I've found is the Do-luck spoiler but I cant really tell from the pictures how much air flow I'd get with it. Has anyone had any experience with it or know of any options I've missed?

    the scoops feed air into the engine bay in the opposite direction to what the air flows through the engine bay so its pretty useless and a waste of time apart from asthetics..
     
    the air enters the engine bay front under the car then rises through the engine bay and out the engine lid vents
    the scoops try to force the air the exact opposite way..
     
    if you want more air into your intake buy somethign like the border side intake scoop that sits on the actual intake vent.

    Should of mentioned I'm running a TOMS airbox so the pod sits in a different position and should breathe a little easier with a scoop as it was designed to go with the TOMS scoop, as I said I'm just not the biggest fan of the way their scoop looks and I'm wondering if anything else might work?

    Tom's scoops:
    The Tom's engineers probably knew what they were doing when they designed that ugly looking scoop (but only to some people ha ha), to feed cool air into their custom airbox, and prevent it sucking hot engine bay air.
     
     
    According to testing I did on my own car I found that adding side intake scoops will actually lower engine bay temps slightly, but in your case they would probably be a poor alternative.
