Don't get me wrong. I think scoops look cool but for me I have no real use for non-functional ones. Hands off to the new Shelby GT500 for not plastering fake scoops all over the car.The GT500 turns more heads than a regular Mustang covered in scoops.
When it comes to styling we all have different tastes and that's a good thing. Sometimes the more people try to be unique the more they actually blend into the crowd. The last car show I was at there was more scooped and spoilered cars there than nice clean looking ones and my car actually drew a fair amount of attention. I prefer a cleaner more subtle look. Again that's just me. It's cool that the S197 Mustangs have such a wide array of performance and styling options available for those that wish to endulge.
Bottom line....cheers....enjoy your ride!!
Oh yeah, the rear quarter louvers were a birthday gift from my brother-in-law and are not an item I would have gone out and purchased myself. They serve no purpose but the look cool.

I may switch the 1/4 window scoops to the silverhorse vent window replacement those thing are sweet.

scoop and see the rubber gasket, that would seal on the bottom of the hood when closed. when open you will see the filter there, get it....

or here are some thoughts about making the Roush scoop functional,
look at the bottom peice of the shaker scoop and replace the shaker with an K&N Filter
Now if you look at the Wipple S/C the throttle body is on the right side, same place there the air tube from the shaker comes in, all you will need is a rubber elbow and a 90mm Lightning MAF and some rubber gasket to seal the filter and the hood meet.
I am looking for a used shaker scoop that is damaged to build a prototype. really just think about cutting the top off the shaker, find a K&N Drop in to sit and seal in it's place, it's going to stick inside the roush scoop when to hood is closed. Dam that would be sooooo cool and sound awsome.
Plus this way it would be a true Ramair type scoop not just a cold air supply.
