I like the MRT's better. Having it on a black car just makes it so much better.

I don't like any of them, IMHO. I am not a big fan of any appearance add-ons, but that's just me.

I think I like XMP's (the light blue one). It's the only one that doesn't protrude from the car.

i love CDC's Scoop (the red one with the scoop). i dont really like louvers on the rear quarter windows, it just doesnt look right. i'm more of a scoop lovin' kind of guy i guess. louvers should stay in the rear window imo.

As someone who regularly stares at the original 65-66 1/4 vents, I have to go with the MRT vents. They do the best job of paying homage to the original, while fitting it to the new window shape.

That said, I'm dissapointed that all the offerings appear to stick on outside of the window, instead of replacing it all together. If it were replaced, the vents could go in more, like the classic 65-66 design.

Edit: on a side note, these pics have brought to my attention that at least two of the SEMA offerings (I believe it's 3D carbon and Westdrendz), put a body color perimeter around the back window to give it the shape of the original fastback rear window. This effect is done on all '05 Mustangs that are black, but the effect is diminished when the car's paint color is anything but black.

Everything Performance West Group did to the exterior was beautiful but also muscular(except for the ugly wheels) :notnice: ! Wish I could've seen that car at the show. Maybe they should've put some wheels like Sqweak's on it.

I like it the best but it needs more slots maybe one or at most two

A couple of them looked nice, but I wouldn't use any due to the blind spot issue.

I went with the MRT scoop, looks more like the classics than any of the other scoops.

This is a tough vote,

all of the louvred quarter windows look equally good in my book. The Saleen one is garbage.

Most of the scoops in my opinon were too large for the window. I didnt see one that only took up the space the window occupied, which is the way they need to be . But, I'm not going to put on on mine cause I'm going to need it when I pull away from the rice grinder that challenges me at a light so I can see his face.

I like cdc or xenons, but I recently saw another one which was on a shelby look alike on ebay. These were more rounded scoops. Anyone have any idea on who those were from?
