    What's the reasoning for the air scoops on the rear sides when the engine is in the front. I do understand that they are fakes. I'm with the owner and would have them removed too.

    on the real Shelby's they were for down force(top) and to cool brakes(lower)

    Isn't this a Shelby? Probably an option that doesn't work.

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Heat gun with gentle prying of a plastic spatula, assuming these aren't anchored to the body. But yes I'd remove these things function of form always.
