Hood Scoop

I'm trying to add some detail to my hood without actually paying a fortune by getting a new one. I'm debating on whether I should get a hood scoop. I'm looking at the "stick-on" Roush one. I really didn't want to go with a stick-on or bolt-on scoop but oh well. I would paint it black myself(most likely a flat or semi-gloss black). How do you guys think it would look? Worth it or no?
Thanks

You will get many opinions on functional or non-functional scoops, etc. I have the Roush one, obviously non-functional. I like the size and style of the Roush...a reminder that if you go with the Roush you would need to drill 7 holes on the hood.

IMO - Go with a hood super stripe or do the real deal with the scoop. Like I said just my opinion.

I'm a fan of the GT Appearance Package scoop.

I like hood scoops. Hood looks too plain otherwise to me. Who cares if it's functional or not? I LOVE my Boss 429 scoop.

IMO....I'd leave the hood like it is, but add some lemans stripes or a superstripe. The stripes would flow well with your side stripes and wheels.

I have the Roush scoop and it bolts on as well as used tape..

Love the look. You could personalize the sides with some cool lettering..

My thoughts exactly. Scoops give hoods a sort-of height to them and some more detail.

Doing stripes is definitely on my list to do, but not sure WHAT to do. I like the lemans but they're more expensive, but at the same time, I don't know what kind of superstripe to do either.

That looks great. Definitely good to see how a black scoop looks on the tungsten. I like the stripes with it too. I guess it's just a matter of time until I can find a deal on one somewhere. Think I could paint it flat black myself? Just to save money on unpainted parts?

Baltimorestreetmods.com has some decent prices on pre-cut stripes. I've been debating getting a set for my car, but just hadn't decided if it was an install I was ready to do myself. I've heard some people say "go for it", and others say they did theirs, but wouldn't want to do it again.

I had the Roush scoop and the ford factory scoop, after dry fitting each (laying them on the hood...lol) I decided to go with the factory scoop. That was just my preference. I still have the Roush Scoop, painted it matte black just never installed it. I will sell it for $50 bucks, all mounting hardware and instructions included. Just let me know and I will send some pics of the Roush scoop.
