Default Side Scoops

Can I get you guys opinion? How important are side-scoops? There is a 2013 in dealer inventory nearby w/o the scoops and w/o the rear video camera which I would like. I really like the concept of even fake side-scoops (as the original mustang had them) but would they look funky on a 2013 black premium V6? Also it seems to me a waste of the video display w/o the rear video camera. I don't have a problem with waiting for a special order (assuming it can get it msrp) - just wondering what you guys think..
Thanks in advance.

Side scoops I would say aren't important, but it depends on what you want honestly. I think they help give a car some new curves and that is it. So it really just depends on you.

Thanks for the reply. I saw the 2013 at a dealership today and it looks great. Dealer says I can order one without a deposit and for little below msrp - that made my day!

You should shop around a little more. I ordered a 2013 and I'm only paying invoice.

I think side scoops are a pretty look for our cars. but I think its more of a cosmetic thing than an actually functioning part. so if you like the look go for it

Don't go to mustangrtr.com! It's infected by a trojan!
