I just installed the RPi scoop based on memory from instructions at raceprecision.com. Here is what it looks like:

Notice the gap between the bottom of the scoop and the actuall entrance to the air intake.
Now compare the 2nd to the last picture and 4th to the last picture of the instructions:

Mine seem more like the 2nd to the last picture. Does it matter? Maybe I'm just being anal about it.

i think its posted somewhere that u should use tape or something to smooth over the gap between the 2 areas
:l
something about causing unneeded turbulence of the air
in either case i put aluminum tape in that gap then spray painted it silver grey metallic just like i did the inside of my scoop
