shaker question
i have a 2003 mustang gt convertible with the fake hood scoop on it..if i install cdc shaker with what they call the hood applique.which is some black plastic piece that bolts around shaker and on hood will the fake scoops hole be visible or no?

and i know people have installed shaker without the applique plastic piece....please advise what i can do thank you

RE: shaker question
There is no way of doing it without covering up the hole cut in the hood without the use of the applique short of doing as others here have said and going with the MACH 1 hood.
I'm probably in the minority that actually likes the CDC applique. I think it fits the car and makes it distinguished from the real MACH 1's.
It will look better when painted either body color or black, in my case my hood will get blacked out and it will all blend in nicley.
It took me 9 hrs total over several days and a call to CDC tech help to install this bad boy.

RE: shaker question
In answer to your question above, yes, the old hood scoop hole as it fully cut out of the car and will be fully covered inside and out once you get the it all back together.
The out side hole is covered by the applique of coarse and the inside is covered with your existing hood insallation and a weather strip help holds it to the appliquie thus fully hiding the hole.
