Fake Scoops
No fake scoops on the GT or GT500, thank you Ford!
GM lost me on the Camaro by slapping a nasty piece of plactic, smack dab in the center of the front facia, and then calling it a hood scoop. Give me a break.

At least you have a choice. I'm not wild about tape stripes but if you like them, you can buy a Mustang with 'em. To each his own.

Just because it's not ram air doesn't mean it's not functional. If it's scooping air into the engine bay then it's functional.

Needs to be more Astony
Its really hard to say. I mean way say one thing should only be function and one thing is fine being styling.
I mean the front of the car and the aerodynamics are far from being the function they should, they are pure stylisitic. You know what you get if you do everything on a car for function.
This
So in a street car where you can see is far from actual function, why not have fake scoops in the essence of style. And i'm not saying anything should go, cuase you can have scoops that are extrmemyl distastful looks wise.
