I am thinking about putting side scoops on my Tungsten '06. Just wanted to get some input from forum members. Any pics would also be appreciated. Oh, I intentionally left off the Xenon side scoops. I don't like them.

I like the Cervini best for two reasons:
1.) Because of the sharp line on the top edge of the scoop, it directs the mind to the intended functionality of the scoop, and that it to cool the rear brakes. It also ends "lower" on the body panel, furthering the illusion that it cools the rear brakes.
2.) Because 3D Carbon and Street Scene chose to terminate their scoops on the door-handle level crease line, it causes a break in that line which is not pleasing.

See, now THAT'S A NICE PICTURE! very nice on the ghost flames...
And for me, I would go with Xenon, follows more of the angles and lines of the car going all the way to the well, but to each his own

I voted for 3DCarbon because they are smaller and more rounded off than the other two. I think they blend in with the lines of the car better. That's what I'll be putting on my car when I get it back from the shop, along with their 1/4 window scoops.

Well if your going to buy the side scoops, and quarter panel scoops I would definitely go with cervinis. I think they are the best looking window scoops, rounded a bit, vent covers etc. The rest just look sqaurish. I like the look of the older ones, when they looked beefy and rounder. Just my thoughts tho.

I actually like Xenons the best also. The others look too small, not deep enough or something. The Xenon style just goes with the modern-retro thing, I guess. 
Brian, I don't see what you mean about 3D and SS scoops being higher. They all look like they stop at about the midline of the door handle. I don't see any that go to the crease above the handle, including Xenons. Maybe it's the pictures?

Not usually a fan of flames, but darn if those don't look great.

I couldn't vote because you specifically excluded my choice: Xenon. But out of the 3, I think Cervini looks better, but not for me.
