I don't get the appeal of them. They just seem to stick out and make the lines of the car worse than stock. Most of the cars i've seen with them don't even look like they belong there. I'm sure i'll get flamed for this lol. Sorry, i'm just not feeling them...

I dont like them on there own but with a fully kitted car they look alright. I like the way they look on the Cervinis C series cars anyway. But when I just see them and louvres on there own it looks a bit odd.
And on the subject of Ferraris a couple of them do have vents just for cosmetic reasons. Theres no point in having a hood vent in a mid engined car. When the hood is the trunk.

No, you're probably not the only one, but I for one like them. I plan on getting a set for my car. IMO the vert needs a little more help in the body lines department after loosing the roof... it's just a little bland. I think the side scoops ad some much needed eye candy on the vert.

I think Ford did a great job designing the looks of these cars... so I think most body mods are a waste of money. Some are okay... but I'd rather invest money on the engine, because IMO the car is already the hottest looking thing on the road in 100% stock form. And I'm not a big fan of the side scoops either.

I don't, but I also don't like the window scoops or hood scoops that aren't funtional. You'd never see anything like that on a Corvette or a Ferrari...

RE: Am I the only one who hates side scoops on the new Mustangs?
This might bea controversial subject! I personally love the side louvers...I think it really enhances the look fo the car and as for the side scoops...undecided. But I am seriously considering adding them to my Mustang. I look forward to hearing everyones opinions on this.
P.S. I'm glad not everyone likes them cause I wouldn't want every Mustang I see to have them, but that's just me.

I realize I didn't make the subject clear, what i'm talking about is the lower side scoops. But hell, feel free to discuss the window scoops/louvers to if you want.[8D]
