Default Reversing the Scoop - Classic.

Righty - My Type R is soon to be getting a Front mount along with various othe goodies, which led me to thinking, what to do with the scoop? Had a look at some aftermarket jobbies, most of em I just don`t like and are really expensive for what they are. Looked at just removing it and black meshing over the hole, al Zen Scooby approach. But the other day whilst I wass messing around re routing the Intercooler spray pipework, I put the scoop on backwards out of curiosity and it doesnt look that bad! Would require some light modification and it would look like factory fit again, just backwords! Whats peoples opinion on reversed scoops?

Revers it, Leave it be, Or mesh it?

would be good to reduce air resistance and improve air flow through radiator and IC, due to pulling effect.
I think the hole in the bonnet is asymmetrical so it would require some bondo work...and new paintjob
