ya know, I think it could be done with the right scoop setup. I've always thought that something like the celica gt4 scoop might look pretty decent on an SC.

All the cars in the pictures you posted have vents.
Vents work. Scoops do not. Unless you have a topmount intercooler like a Subaru, or your intake is on top like the first pic.
damn guess i felt slick there..im still in the process of learning alright...
heres to redeem myself! Same car..
