[DeTomaso] Anyone looked into converting the aluminum grills behind the windows into air scoops?

Something similar has been done, I recall seeing photos on the PI forum. IIRC it incorporated the side window in the design, as opening that area up under the gills for air flow requires significant body work.

It seems like the aluminum grills are styled like scoops.  If that area is opened up, and horizontal fins are made that provide the same appearance as the grills, seems like the original look is preserved?  Maybe a clear scoop over the fins?
