good choice the Roush replica looks much slicker and agressive.

question: anyone cut a hole underneath their bolt-on scoops to make it actually function? or is that just extra cheesy? lol

The second one from AM. I'm replacing a cracked roush scoop. (hail storm)
I woould have gotten the AM scoop but they told me the holes would not match the roush.
Anyway, the painted roush arrived today and the paint is a perfect match.

I am trying to decide whether to add a scoop or not. I've been tossing the idea around, but can't decide. If/when I do, it will be the Roush scoop.

I'm going to look at it and see if I feel comfortable doing it. It comes with a template so will see.

Basically add give or take $100-130 for shipping I think. The paint job is something around $300. Yeah so $419.00 easily becomes around $800. So I can understand why most go with the scoop but I personally don't think I could just tape or bolt a scoop onto my hood and live with it. It would be something that would constantly bother me. jmho
