Default 2011 Mustang with 3in Carbon Cowl Hood - You Decide

Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of putting a 3in Carbon Fiber Cowl Hood, Carbon Fiber Trunk and Carbon Fiber Shelby Spoiler on my 2011 5.0. Wanted to see what your input is; do you think it will look good, does anyone run these parts currently, has anyone done business with VIS or TruCarbon? Also, do you think that I should go without a spoiler on the trunk? I'm kinda feeling that low drag, lightweight, drifter look.

Thanks, hopefully you guys can help me decide.

This is how far the factory scoop rises off the hood.

I personally prefer the clean look without a spoiler, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority.

And I think it would look better with the cowl hood WITHOUT a spoiler. Can't really explain it, but that's just how I feel when imagining how it'd look in my head

IMO, that hood looks hideous. Reminds me of the SN95 I see around town with the same looking hood, I laugh everytime I see it. The trunk lid and spoiler isnt bad. Personally I love the stock hood with the scoop you already have.

I know what you're sayin tek, that's why I haven't pulled the trigger. I'm thinking I may just wanna go with the trunk, with no spoiler for right now and leave the stock hood, until I see somethin carbon that I'm really crazy about. I wish I could find the stock hood in carbon .... Does this exist?
