Yeah, no scoop definitely looks best in my opinion. That said, if you like the look, do it. Something very subtle and minimal (like a 2nd gen Legacy style scoop) might look pretty good.
Scoops don't really make sense on FWD cars...or any modern car, really (except Subarus and the like with top-mount intercoolers). Older cars used them because the air cleaner/intake were right on top of the engine. That's not the case anymore.
If I ever actually get the supercharger put on my car, though, I might consider a scoop as a dual solution for height clearance and intake relocation. Most likely I'd go with a raised cowl instead, though.
