Default Opinions on Roush hood scoop?

Just picked up my new black GT yesterday, and had a little surprise waiting for me. I asked for the GT scoop to be installed, but when they pulled it around it had the Roush scoop in it. Boy, is it big. Didn't like it at first, but it's kinda slowly growing on me.

Any opinions on this thing? No holes were drilled, so I can take it off easily - so any thumbs down votes will be taken lightly. Thanks!

I have the Roush scoop, and I like it. Mine is drilled in though.

The problem if you don't drill with the Roush, is that it might fly off soon or later.
The reason why is because the fake grille is recessed too far back and the air gets in there and push up real hard from 70mph on.

Be aware of that fact...

Mine appears to be only a stick-on, and the front corners are not secured very well. Wondering if that can be fixed, because it's pretty obvious.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Ifen it aint screwed on, its NOT secure.
Its not designed to be 3M tape only mounted.

IMO no non-functional scoops look good just stuck on top of our hoods. The fake scoop on the new edges look good because it flowed with the hood and looked like it belongs. The new scoops look like an after thought and were just stuck on. The Roush does look better then stock Ford however. But my vote is that you go for the CDC shaker....looks amazing and is kinda functional

Personally I think nonfunctional hood scoops are a waste. I liken that to a ricer throwing decals on for HP.
