Anyone have any pictures of what the GT appearance package looks like on the GT's??? i did a search, but didn't find any pictures... thanks!

 

Go here...

 

Also check out the California Special thread.

 

Here are some pictures I took in June of a Grabber Orange with the GT Appearance Package, though I didn't take a picture of the engine cover.

 

I don't have any pics to help you out with, but I've seen it and can tell you that it looks aweful. Not at all worth it.

Of course, this is only my opinion.

By the way, these 'convenient' smiley's off to the side suck.
Yea, I'm in a good mood.

 

I look forward to seeing a GT appearance package with wider LeMans stripes. Something with 10-11" stripes and 1-2" gap.

Never been a fan of the Roush/thin LeMans stripes. JMO

 

That "Krieger" emblem has to go as well! What's with dealerships putting their graffiti all over new cars?

 

why do you think it looks bad?? aside from the NON-functional hood scoop.... but i think it makes the hood look not so boring...

 

Just my opinion but I think the hood scoop is too small and looks out of place. I feel the same way about the Roush hood scoop. As long as the folks who have them are happy, that is all that matters.

 

yeah, i can see that- i initially thought the same thing when i first saw it- but i dunno... i think anything looks better than just a plain hood... plus you get the really cool neat-o engine cover! lol

 

It's the hood scoop. I think it looks rediculous and tacked on. Almost like something I'd expect to see on a Civic or F-150. It's to skinny, wierd shaped wedge ... hey, to each his own, Ford's designers and test groups must've liked it.
But besides that, the engine cover you can get for under $100 and many people will change the exhaust, so I don't see it as worth it at all.

 

i see your point.... but personally i dont think it looks all that bad... i mean i'm not changing my exhaust.... so- i guess i'll keep it....

 

In person, the size of the scoop looked better to me that in photos. It is smaller than the Roush scoop.

I have heard some people say the CDC shaker scoop looks too small too.

In my opinion, the long and wide expanse of the hood is a contributing factor to the proportion seeming to be small.

Whether people like falsies or not is another story.

 

I understand the personal opinion on the size of the scoup, but a lot of people complain about it being "non-functional". Whats the deal ( showing my ignorance of working on cars) with cutting a few holes and make it functional? seams simple to me, people do a lot more to their cars with great results.

 

A scoop in that location might be expected to route air to the engine. People have argued the value of having a CDC shaker scoop on their S197 Mustang, as well as those on the '03-'04 Mach 1s. Those scoops are attached to an air intake tube that goes to the air filter box. The positioning of the scoops in the air stream are crucial to how effective the "ram air" effect will be.

Cutting holes in the GT appearance package scoop and hood underneath would most likely water pass into the engine compartment, although there might be some release of heat and air pressure build-up at higher speeds.

As the name implies, this scoop is about appearance.
