To be honest it does look a litte ricey. I think thats do to the fact thats it a little smallfor your mustang; it might look better if you paint it to match the rest of the car. My personal opinion is the sn95 mustang should not have scoops, at least hood scoops maybe if you had a 04 mustang

It looks way out of place. mostly because of the shape of the scoop.

It does look small in the pictures, but in person I think its a perfect size. its a little smaller than the 99-04 GT scoops

It looks a little out of place mainly because its too short for the long hood of the sn95 body style but also because it has no friends lol . I think it may look better with some other black body componants and if you get rid of those crystal head lights and match em to the smoked corner lights. Of course opinions are just that , If you like it who cares what anyone else thinks. I thought about getting the double scoops on my 94 at one time but then realized that the lines of that body style don't work well with raised hood scoops. Lol someday when I can find an extra hood I may experiment with cutting it out for some recessed scoops.

I personally don't like hood scoops on 94/98 Mustangs as they never seem to match the overall flow of the ar. The car just wasn't built with hood scoops in mind. Cowl, yes, hood scoop no.

However with that said the scoop doesn't look overly bad but what does look horrible is having it painted matte black. It just looks really really cheap and out of place. Like you bought a urethane part and can't afford or are too lazy to have it painted. In that retrospect it looks ricer. Paint it red and it'll look better.

I have a great wings west chin spoiler that's made out of urethane that can be painted which will drastically improve the way the front of the car looks. If you're interested let me know. It's never been used and it's just taking up space. I'll sell it to you pretty cheap if you want it. PM me if you're interested.

TBH...it looks like a tiny little clown hat on a really big bald guy.... Proportionally just doesn't look right.

You asked.....

But if you like it, that's all that matters.

Well now that Ive seen pictures....Yes. Rice. That being said I know what you are going for. I have always wanted a hood scoop for my 95 but have yet to see one that looks like it belongs on the car. Like JThorn said, the SN95's really are not made to have a hood scoop. A cowl hood - yes, hood scoop - no. But your car, you pay for it, you do with it what makes you happen.
