Default Side window replacement/ Scoops?

I'm Looking to remove the two side window on my TC and basically put a scoop in their place, kinda like a roof scoop. Anyone know if they already have such a thing pre-made? Basically i need exact fitment i hate a crap load of body work.

Should at least give you an idea how stupid they would look... vinyl aside.

Aren't scoops basically plastic covers over windows? So you wouldn't be removing a window.
What is their purpose anyways? other than obviously blocking out the sun.

Uhm....something like that (the scoop, not the stickers) may be useful for mid or rear-engine cars.....
...our engine is in the front.

Just thought I'd point that out in case that fact eludes people....

I had my engine custom mounted where the passenger seat would normally go, but I'm a resposible driver so I still buckle it up, works like an engine damper...anyway, if you took the windows out and put scoops, all you'd be doing is creating more drag and a hole in which cold air could escape (I live in Florida, can ya tell?). No scoops, leave those for mustangs and MR-2s.

And it would probably whistle like mad. I've had bad pairs of windsheild wipers that whistled LOUD every time I went over 40mph.

If you're dead set on it though, why not try fiberglassing some scoops, paint them, then stick 'em on with 3M tape. At least then if you decide you hate it you can take them off.
