Bolted towards the middle and taped on the sides. This is why there's often a gap between the scoop and the hood. The bolts should have been along the edges.

I dig the scoops on the 10's. I think the best looking one is the GT350, although I think that's the entire hood. Is that hood going to be available anytime soon for you 10' owners?

That hood isnt bad, defintiely better then the ford hood scoop. I doubt this will be available anytime soon and proably will be pricy. But im sure they will make some cheaper knockoffs.

Doubt it. Plus the cost will be ridiculous.

The hood on the GT350 is awesome... I don't like the rest of the car though

I Don't care for it too much. I think the hood cowel looks good the way it is.
I would go for the 1/4 side window louvers. I had test drove one with the scoop and thought it blocked your vision a little bit.

If Ford could press out a one-piece hood/scoop... that looks identical to this optional scoop but without the separation lines that are clearly visible from this bolt on, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

That would look A-W-E-S-O-M-E...
