No likey the spoiler. Not to crazy about the rear spoiler blackout either. The blackout between the taillights looks much better, imo. The rest of the car looks nice, though.

Overall, not a bad lookin ride. Im so-so on that rear spoiler, but love the shaker hood scoop. First Ive heard of this Fang outfit, but still, a decent effort. Gotta give em a thumbs up.

I wonder how some dealers feel about trying to sell the stock GTs for the same price? For me, the extra 9k on my car will get me a lot more than that though.

You're right about the spoiler's end caps being too chunky. They had the right idea though. At least it doesn't curl back like others out there.

I like the chin spoiler though.

The FANG graphics look stupid.

The intake for the scoop is a bit odd since it pulls air down through the scoop and then it has to flow back up into the hood and up front to the "air box" location. Im not thrilled at all by it and Im still waiting for the CDC version. Fang wont be able to beat theirs, its just sooooo much more direct.

yes , its non-functional there is no tube coming from the scoop to the air box to go into the intake.

I have a Roush hoodscoop on mine, and it aint at all functional, but looks great! If I had a shaker, I could care less if it fed cold air in as long as it looked right.

IMO, the Fang is borderline riceing it. The hood scoop looks alil to generic, like something that was bought at the WallyMart autosection. Just doesnt apeal to me.

No, its functional. Read my post above and look closely at the area around the scoop and the underside of the hood. Its not my cup of tea but it "functional".

If CDC has a patent on the design of their shaker scoop for the 05 this would explain why Fang did it differently.

Looks like something you could do yourself with a CDC spoiler and duck tail. The seat logo's are just dumb. And I can't see a tube running back up to the airbox from those pics, but if it is there, it's got to be right above the header, so not sure how much cold fresh "Ram" air it's pumping.

All in all, you could do all that for a LOT less than what they are charging for it.

Never mind, it IS functional, runs the air between the two layers of the hood back around the factory airbox.

A functional scoop will take the air and direct it to the air filtering system. This is a not functional shaker system. All it does is direct air into the engine compartment, thats it. If you look, it is using a cold air intake kit for actual air input into the throttle body, thus making the shaker hood scoop non functional. Fang has been on this site, and has explained that it only directs air into engine compartment. On the cdc shaker that comes out it will direct air into the air box, not the engine compartment, thus being functional. Good luck to all.
