Yep, it's a non-functional add on piece.

I like this one.
This is the only one I've seen that is functional, with an aftermarket cai anyways. I wish there was a hood for the GT, with the vent like the GT500. I would think it would let more air flow through the radiator. No, I'm not going to cut a hole in my hood!

That other one is really cool though
I got the scoup with trim package 5. I always wanted a hot rod with a hood scoup. I don't care for the look of the bolt on. My body guy said I would be unhappy if he did body work to blend it to the hood...metal/plastic issues.

LMP hood is functional! Why not have a scoup that works.

I ordered this hood....not many choices in fiberglass and carbon fibre hoods are too expensive for me.

None of those are functional except the cowl induction hood and all that does is blow air into an engine compartment that can't get enough air out to start with. The cars come with hood flutter problems and these hood scoops if they do anything at all only exacerbate that. Look at the Touring GT1 cars see any hood scoops? See any exhaust vents? Race cars use what works. Hood scoops are left over dinosaurs from a time when they didn't understand aero.
