what the heck is that on the hood? Is that supposed to be a hood scoop or something?

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.

Yep, it sure is. And I don't like it either, as the 2010 already has a cowl hood to begin with. IMO it just looks so stupid with having another scoop, placed right on top over another one.

The hood scoop looks hideous. The quarter window louvers would also look better flush or not on there at all.

Same thing as the hood scoop on your 08 GT. Added on, non functional part for appearance only.

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!!!!!!!

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.

All of the add-ons look terrible and work against the car.

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?

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


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

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?

IMO it just doesn't look right, as it appears as though 2 hood scoops are sandwhiched over top of one another
