Whatcha guys think?

Honest opinions on the hood scoop.
The last 2 pics are of my mustang.
Thanks

Honestly: I like it ! But I think it would look better if the stripes were on the scoop as well...

By the way: Is that the infamous curb in the back?

Yes it is... They are actually fixing all street curbs in the neighborhood.

Looks good, but put the stripes on it I agree.

Hood scoops! I debated this over and over. In fact I purchased the factory GT, Roush and 3D Carbon scoops so I could compare construction and looks in real time. The Roush won out with me!.........but in all mods you need to do what you like ....

I'm not gonna lie...I'm not a big fan of that scoop. Its too wide for my taste. But hey, if you like it.....

+1 on striping the scoop

Where did you get the spinners? I will try to re-fit my OEM spinners on my new Bullitts, I just don't know how... Maybe I'll figure it out when the wheels get here Tuesday...

I'm not a fan of the scoop. I personally think the Roush is the right size for the S197 hood. JMO~

Wish FORD would just do something with the washer nozzles. They get in the way of all mods. Fan of the scoop.

Spinners, a must. go to BRS, they are metal not plastic, and they actually spin. Oh, and lock on also. I opted for the swept ones.

I personally like the wide scoop! I'd like to see it from another view though!

Okay, here are additional pics of the scoop. It is only place on top of the hood.

Wide scoop looks good! Personally, I like the wider scoops instead of the chintzy little pimple that the factory installs on the hood.

Great new look!

I don't think it looks bad. I am not sure how the stripes would look on the scoop. If you like it that is all that counts. Is it too late to go with a CDC shaker?
