Marcus: you have a keen eye and are very intuitive about practical matters. These scoops in fact will serve as the primary handle to lift the hood the first couple of inches. The original GTOs have a leather belt/strap at the back of the hood to ensure the hood stays closed. That strap also serves as a hood lift. I don't plan to include these straps as the screw holes in the cowl are just one more way for water to make it's way into the interior and I like the "cleaner" look without them. So the hood scoops will be the only handle left.
