i was wondering if it would be cool if i find a wrecked mach and take the shaker system and hood and mount it on my car would it be good just for looks or just be stupid because is it non-fucntional?

Most rear spoilers are not functional, they're just for looks so who care if the scoop works? I say go for it if you like it.

if u fixed the shaker to the hood and sealed it off it would be just as cool as a gt hood with a fake scoop except it would look 10000000000x better and would actually give the engine compartment some cool fresh air, it would be cool and if ur goin tt then u got plenty to back u up any way

It would also let rainwater onto your engine.

I'm sure you can find some way to plug it up. Especially if he's having a body shop do it. I looked at a Mach 1 in person once, and the hole around the Shaker seems to he pretty air tight, and if he puts some kind of blocker behind the actual scoop, it shouldn't affect anything, right? But like I said, I've only been around one in person once, so I may be mistaken (although we all know I never make mistakes, lol).

Off topic, but I was looking at my high school year book and my friend had a funny quote in his year book. It said "I have never been wrong. I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken."
