So i was thinking today of how much i hate the honeycomb hood scoop and how it is just looks fake. So i took off sound dampener and saw about 6 nuts holding my scoop on. I took them off and removed the scoop. And i stand back and looked at my hood without the scoop on it. And without it the hood is a regular v6 hood. So you know how the v6 hood has a inverted scoop, i was thinking i could cut that out and remove my honey comb grill and then it would be a functioning hood scoop. So i did it. I cut the hood were the v6 scoop was, cut the sound dampener and removed the honey comb had to do alittle cutting were the honeycomb was. And wa-la functional hood scoop. Looks good too, looks very factory.

i don't think it was a good idea. hope you like your engine bay getting wet and cleaning it out. plus the camaros have that and the difference between the non-hood scope and hood scope is 15 hp and 0 tq to the crank, but those cars are made for it. just my two cents

What about rain, road dirt, etc.? [/align][/align]I drive 100+ miles a days through all sort of heavy rain, construction wirk, etc. and the forward facing scoop I tried on my s/c'd '90 Miata (even ducted to a plenum/drain/catch pan) sucked up dirt and water like a shop-vac...[/align]

Good for you. Now if we can just figure out a way to fix the side scoops.
i bought a 00 over an 01 with the same price with a little less miles, because i couldn't stand the fake *** brake vents on the side of the 01+. Ialso hated the fakeass hood scoop on the 01-04.Funny thing is,most people think the side scoops and hood scoopsare functional. I hate how ford riced it out from the factory.

if you hate how ford made them why did you get one in the first place?

Thats the standard hood on the '99 and possibly the the '00 GT's, it is just not a V6 hood, the V6 hoods are also different on the '03-'04 I think.
