Agree. Stripes are an appearance item though. Scoops are posing as something else, like the faux rear "diffuser".

The location of the fogs really does make or break the look of the HIDs. Hate them on the GT, love them on everything else. The GT/CS in particular.

Has anyone seen a pic of a GT/CS in GB with the glass roof? That would be my choice. As for the brakes, when the first set of pads are gone I would upgrade to the best aftermarket rotors and calipers that would fit inside the GT/CS wheels. Tires would probably be shot about the same time so they would be upgraded as well. Ever since the GT/CS debuted back in 1968 it has always been somewhat of a poor man's Shelby. So far this is my favorite pic of the GT/CS...

Side scoops on a mustang have always been an appearance item. If you disagree show me the tech that by hooking up a hose and directing air to the general area of the rear tire actually performed any performance function. Even on the last gen Z06 Corvette the side scoops were not functional.

To you say so what. Just because cars have faux parts doesn't mean it's cool. It's just everyone knows they are FAKE!!!!!

To add to the pot stirring anyone who knows anything about cars knows hood scoops period have always been for looks! For a hood scoop to show any marked improvement in performance they need to sit about 3 feet off the top of the hood to get any decent amount of air and be going 100+ mph. The moment air hits the grill and front portion of the hood it creates a funnel effect which quickly goes to the roofline and would flow over any existing hood scoops unless they are placed at the nose of the hood. Ala the 68 Shelby and the reason the slits were placed so far forward. Adding insult to injury getting high air flow to the carburator isn't exactly a priority anymore.

Functional maybe adding 3% to performance if that under the best conditions.

As far as I know that is correct. I've read reviews stating that while the Brembos are nice, they really aren't necessary in light of the beefed up brakes that come as standard. I think if I were looking at a CS, the lack of a Brembo package wouldn't really bother me.

I'm not saying they are cool just because the car has a fake scoop but on mustangs side scoops have always been an appearance item. Some people like them and that's fine.

+1 on the hoodscoop comments as well.
