There is no hope for you. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

I thought the factory Ford one looked to small on that big hood.

I went with the B9 From Cervinis!
YAY FAKE HOOD SCOOPS!

There's something to said about subtlety. + 1 for the stock (fake) hood scoop.
I have something to confess. I don't like the stock (wing) spoiler on the convertible. It looks too much like a Cougar Eliminator; at least with the top up. I could see a ducktail, the Shelby spoiler or the delete option.

The stock hood scoop has grown on me... At first, I did not care for it, but the more I have seen it (in pics and in person), I am liking it... Although, I am liking the Roush scoop more... And for functional, I love the Shaker (but not its price tag)...

And I do not care for the stock spoiler! I want mine gone so bad! I keep hoping someone will trade with me for a spoiler delete trunk, but alas, it hasn't happened yet... So I have 3 options at this point, fill in the holes (which is the look I want), get the V-6 spoiler (which I kinda like) or get the Shelby GT500 spoiler (which I also kinda like)... Ah, decisions, decisions...

yeah man the price tag is what's keeping me from doing it...for that price you could practically get a new hood!

Confession,

I like the V6 accents better than the GT bits. I have (2) GT cars with V6 parts.

I hated it the first time I saw it. It slowly grew on me. Now I think the hood looks bare when I see one without it.

It's your car, if you like it, then keep it on there. At least you didn't pay to have it added.

+1

I feel the hood looks bare without a hood scoop. It's so big it needs something.

You have almost my list of mods! Hood, chin spoiler, I want different wheels, but black bullitts do look amazing! Question, does the new look start to shake like the stock one at high speeds (90+)? I'm hoping it doesn't but, if so, hood pins!

What mods do we have in common?

Yeah the GTS2 hood didn't shake at first but it does now. I had some hood pins installed. Problem fixed.

Now, if you said that you like the stock mirrors (as is, flat black), I think that would be cause for concern.

To me, they look like they belong on Clarence Boddicker's SUX6000.
Sorry.
