Wouldn’t the strobes in the hood vent be a bit of a hinderance to the air flow over the intercooler?

no offense but the american car companies did it to themselves, dont get me wrong i love my focus, but the import car companies definately have a leg up, chevy and ford seem to love making plastic interiors even though they spend billions on reverse engineering all the competition, which most have musch nicer interiors with some type of material finish thats NOT plastic. to spend $25k on a car that has a plastic dashboard is asanine

Providing that you don’t modify the lines of the hood… The legacy hoodscoop actually works.

[http://videos.streetfire.net/search/hood+scoop/0/wm/C170A63C-9B19-4357-8281-C11771B00768.htm](http://videos.streetfire.net/search/hood+scoop/0/wm/C170A63C-9B19-4357-8281-C11771B00768.htm)

Instead of just sitting on top of the hood the legacy hoodscoop dips into the engine bay itself. It was explained to me by an engineer that the lower portion (floor) of the hoodscoop will produce and boundary layer producing laminar flow as well as an area of low pressure, literally sucking the air into the intercooler compartment.

Submerged inlet designs have been used before. the most famous being a NACA inlet.

And yes those lights are in a VERY VERY bad location. They will induce turbulence and disrupt the engineered airflow.
