i have the roush to not sure how much it cost but i think it looks great. the only problem which i here a lot of people have is a little space between the hood and the scoop but it has gone away over time. My dad and i put mine on and it wasnt to hard but is does take a little time and we are not very experinced at this kind of stuff just to add that in but it is a great hood scoop

The Roush is very good and easy to install - it comes with a template that you lay out and drill (measure, then measure again!). You can pick it up on Ebay already painted or ready for paint - here a couple of listing.

On Ebay - painted Roush $215

On Ebay, unpainted Roush:

And here's what it looks like from the driver seat:

JimC... you shoulda painted it white so that it could blend in with your superstripe.


Anyway, I got the GT scoop back in January. I like it better than the Roush, personally. The grill insert matches the honeycomb grill on our cars. The Roush insertis just flat black.

It was about $240 or so... I got it from the parts department at a local Ford dealer.

Buy a functional hood; it's not that much more expensive and it actually does something (like ram air, heat extractor).
