I have an '05 Satin Silver GT and have been considering this mod. I really like the way it looks. Excellent job on the install.

If you get some time, I would love to see some more pics (from various angles) to get a better idea of what it looks like. Thanks.

Thanks for the additional pics! I really like the way it looks on the silver.

The blackout decal would "mask" the scoop and make it more stealth.

The hood is all aluminum. Typically aluminum is very resistant to corrosion. It gets bad when the aluminum is wrapped around a steel frame then you get galvanic corrosion. Usually the aluminum gets a light coating of oxidation and stays that way for hundreds of years.

Which chin spoiler is that? It looks like it's flat black...did you have that painted? I'd like to put one on my Mustang, but don't have the cash right now for painting. Wondering what a flat black chin spoiler would look like on a black car...

Also, the heat extractor looks amazing! I'd love to do that to my car, but I'm thinking about saving up for the CDC Shaker instead...
