Hood Scoop? Yah or Ney??
#11
Thanks for the response and honest opinions everyone. Just been going back and forth with this modification past few days so the feed back is much appreciated.
@Jayvee: Should have copied and paste like I did, lol.. Well, if I decide to install it, I will keep it black for awhile, then later when I'm bored of the look, I will paint it ignot silver and add stripes to it. And yes, it's glossy back.
@Jsimmonstx: Thanks for the link. I've had my eyes on those Cervini hoods for a while, especially the Mustang Type 4 Ram Air Hood.
This non-functional hood will be temporary anyways. In time I do plan on getting a functional one. Money is not the issue, just my better can not see the logic of why a person would alter/ modify a brand new car, lol.....

I wouldn't do it for 1 very big reason. Safety. You drive the autobahn, and can see mph's in excess of 140+...I wouldn't trust 3M for that job. I personally don't like how it looks, but it's not my car. I know you don't want this thing ripping off on the autobahn, and potentially causing a wreck at those speeds. Heaven forbid it hits someone behind you.

I do think that if you decide to put it on it should be painted and striped to match the car.

@Moshpit: Thought about that as well. That's one reason why I have to re-do the side window louvers because they didn't stick so well and sure they will fly off on the autobahn. As far as the hoodscoop goes, it's taped and you also have to drilll holes in the hood to install them as well. That's one of the biggest reasons why I'm iffy about it because if I don't like it, then I'm stuck with 4 holes in the hood (unless I get them fixed which will be money I could have used for some other mods)...
@10Kona: Yeah, this hood scoop will have to be bolted on as well..
@Entaille: Agree, the final decision will be mines, just wanted to get some secondary thoughts on the matter ;0)....
