i would prefer the single scoop on a gem, BUT, if you want clearance, there is another way around it. (icq me and i'll explain it - 13366069)

You COULD have one huge scoop across your bonnet (wide but not high) and have only a few holes cut into the bonnet, so as to not ruin the structural integrity of your bonnet. OR, you could have 2 scoops, but i'd reckon they'd look much better on bigger, muscle cars.

Alright, see the picture on "http://members.xoom.com/morgbackup/scooptest.jpg", see how the cylinder hits the lower part of the scoop (that's in front of the large part). Now, in this diagram, if you continue to roll the cylinder up the scoop itself, it will not clear the other part, so, if you have a gradual gradient up until it reaches the scoop, as shown in "http://members.xoom.com/morgbackup/scooptest2.jpg"

If that makes sense (that is all the scoop shown, the bottom line of that is on the bonnet of the car.

The only thing that i can see being a problem here is viewing clearance.
