I agree on the non-functioning hood scoops but I just didn't have the funds for a shaker system. Maybe next year.

Added my 3D carbon window scoops last light. I'm not sure if they go with the look I am going for but they are just two sided tape so not bad to remove later if I change my mind on them.

Thanks for the comment. I like them overall but I am also getting ready to install rear louvers and wonder if I should have done louver rather than scoops for the side windows.

Oh...In that case, I probably would've gone with louvers instead of scoops. But you might as well see how it all looks together, since they're already on anyway. It might still look good.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Louvers be here tomorrow so install them on the weekend and see what happens. Lol

Received my rear window louvers from AM today. Shot a quick pic of them.

Yeah these are plastic. I wanted the aluminum ones but just couldn't justify the $400+. These are the Mach Speed ones found on AM.com. I chose these because the style was more similar to the aluminum ones than other ABS ones.

Looks good. How's the quality/fit? It doesn't look bad with the scoops, but I think louvers would be a better match. Either way, you've got a nice ride.

Quality and fit are surprisingly good... I was a bit worried about buying the plastic ones but overall I recommend them. The scoops are coming off here in a few minutes and once I get the Louverd ones I will get them installed.

Thanks for the comment

Just bought these off someone on eBay. I like the look of these better than the standard scoops or louvers. The back side bulge is a bit distracting but in black I'm hoping they finish the Mach 1 look I am going for.

I love those and actually just saw them the other night on eBay. I like the look and have been coontemplating getting them also. I am working towards a real retro lok and I think these would help that look at bit.

Yeah me too. I wasn't sure what look I wanted when I started but after I bought the CS69 wheels and started buying more parts, it all started to head in the old school Mach 1 look. Once I saw these window covers I thought it would complete the look.

Thanks for the comment.

Replaced the 2010 style taillights I bought from American Muscle. I had 3 sets of them and all of them fogged. I replaced with a tinted set of stock taillights.
