sweet, i love the spoiler and the side scoop and window louver are ok, but i still dont like the hood scoop. the hard line created from where it is placed on the hood makes it look even worse.

IMHO I think it would look stupid to put a smaller 05-09 style hood scoop on top of the cowl hood shape. It would look like a wedding cake. I also think it looks much better w/ a Mach 1 style stripe, or maybe in flat black.

They need to just make a scoop out of the cowl hood, kind of like the SRT8 Charger hood. I like the black out in the back, and the side vents look about as bad as any of the other fake ones on past generations, but the hood scoop and spoiler just don't look right.

A scoop on top of a pseudo cowl induction hood just doesn't look right. The 2010 hood should remain scoop-less because it looks better without one. It just doesn't need anything on top of it.

You know I'm sorry, those window louvers, rear spoiler and all the other boy racer stuff on that car is just hideous, hideous. Is this the car that FRPP is getting for test mules?

I dunno, I think it looks much better than the 05-09 hood scoop which is just tacked on to the hood. This 2010 -style at least matches the shape of the cowl hood and looks integrated with the hood design!!!!!!!

As for those tacked on 05-09 hood scoops go. That's exactly why my 05 GT, will never have one. In fact, the only hood scoop in which I'd consider. Would be a shaker scoop, which is at least a real functional hood scoop. Or even better yet, upgrade to an aftermarket cowl induction hood instead

My question, is why even put another scoop on top of an already existing cowl hood to begin with ? If it isn't functional, then what's really the purpose behind it

Somehow, I actually like the hood scoop. It is kind of cheesy being that it's non-functional, but I think it looks good. The other add-ons look cheap though. Especially the window louvers. I prefer the flush mounted ones. I guess the spoiler isn't too bad, but I think the duck tail looks much better than the pedestal. I would also like to see a 68 Shelby style quarter window scoop to match the side scoop. Maybe that would make it more coherent and look less tacked on?
