I got the Apex scoop and washer bottle relocate from a member. Looks good and the bottle works just like stock. For anyone doing the scoop you can also use a Xacto knife to cut the plastic air dam. I did and works good, the plastic isnt that strong and the Xacto makes clean straight cuts.
As to power, like any "ram air" it is noticable mostly at 65 mph and up.

You know, we refer to it as "plastic" but that is almost misleading. It is softer than what you think of plastic as being, it is somewhere between plastic and rubber if that makes sense.

I installed mine today and happened to take a picture from above that you may find helpful.

This is with the washer bottle installed on the Apex Scoop:

I have it, works great! Buy it from Ted so he can tune it for you as it does throw off the MAF settings. Just make sure you already have a JRE tune otherwise tune isn't free.

I am satisfied with my JRE scoop. I painted it flat black. Installed easy and fits well.

Just an FYI it's $10 cheaper to buy the ww relocate kit and scoop separate from JRE than the package deal. Not sure why. Shipping was excellent too. Told me it would be 6 days and it showed up in two.
