yep it's faux along with the side scoops, personally i think they're a nice touch but a lot of guys disagree

I changed mine from the 2000 hood and added the hoodscoop. After that I made it SEMI-FUNCTIONAL by drilling out all of the holes in the honeycomb and cutting the hole under the hoodscoop where the old thing was. Now it blows cooler air onto my throttle body and plenum and slowing heat soak.

Do you have any problems with water getting in the engin bay?

Any of you know where to get side scoops? A deer ran into my driver side over the weekend & knocked off my side scoop (I'm SOOO lucky for no body damage)...I was thinking of upgrading the scoops since I'm already down one.

Thoughts?

Like the above pics, if you want saleen side scoops there are a few places that carry them. I know stage3 does they are on the vendor list here...then have them painted wherever or yourself (if your set up for painting)
