I'm not a designer, all I do is pick holes in other folks awesome projects..
In your 'roof scoop 2' video, you show the clip part of the scoop continuing on the top of the clip, concealing the actual inlet airway beneath.
I think that idea looks best, but I would sculpt the rear of the roof scoop to mimic the rear of the part of the clip that it is sitting on.
In that particular video, the bulge at the end of the clip looks a bit like DA to me, I'd prefer a softer line, less pointy.
I really don't think the idea of the air scoop 'cleavage' will look right at all. Could look nice and 'techie' but not harmonious.

My main concern would be getting the rear clip sealed so airflow cannot lift it. We both know the importance of this. Getting the polycarb to close and form around your scoop, with or without cleavage, will be difficult.
I would have taken your scoop, which I believe you are doing in carbon, and continued that same profile back down the rear clip but progressively sinking into it. The end would then be in line with your throttle body or filter housing. The joint between the two sections of the scoop could then have decent returns on them to give the rigidity you will require in that section of the rear clip.
