Basically, by using hoods like this, you decrease "lift" on the front end, which has the same effect (in practice) as creating more "downforce" on the front end through the use of front splitters and such.

I think the main reason of the scoops is to reduce resistance of the air flowing trough the front and the engine compartment.
not really sure about all the other stuff that is going on...
P.S. the blue looks nice but is seems like it has a purple tint to it... I guess it's pretty difficult to draw a nice rich blue (just as it is difficult to capture the ABM or IOM on photos)
