Scoops, or no Scoops???

The quarter window ducts also guided air around the back window to increase the rear spoiler's effectiveness.

As long as they're functional...I wouldn't mind. To hell with that fake sh$t.

Just put on the fake scoops and tell everyone they are real... problem solved

 

[Dave Schotz]

Sorry Guys... I have one on order as well... and if it AIN'T FUNCTIONAL... DON'T CLUTTER UP THE CAR!

Now... if they're functional... I am 200% ON BOARD!

Ditto scoops that work please!!!!!

I am sure there will be quite a few aftermarket companies making fake scoops for these cars.
I would go for scoops if they didnt look like an afterthought. Remember sometimes less is more.

If they aren't functional .. don't put them on .. that is my biggest turnoff on my 04!!! I consider it RICE!!

I think I saw a good delete kit from someone .. I'll have to find it ..

Well, you are ridiculous in my opinion if you think scoops on a cobra are "rice". Mabye if you put them on a six cylinder I would agree. But seriously, even if the scoops were "functional", how many of us really need the slight, (and I do mean slight) braking advantage we would get from routing cold air onto the rear rotor? That is more of just an excuse to have "ricer" scoops in my opinion. I mean if the scoops routed cold air to the back of your radio so the back of it stayed cool, would you get them then? They would be "functional". :beer:
Bottom line is, the scoops are function if you put them on. They are functional in making the damn car look cool, is that so wrong? It's not like I asked if we should have ford put a 3 foot tall spoiler on the back, and a couple of fart pipes out back.

This is what the GT500 Should look like. In my opinion, of course.

 

[Dave Schotz]

That is a pretty bad ass image! I agree... that would be SICK! :beer:

I prefer functional side scoops to help keep the rear brakes cool. If it is not necessary, then it should be left clean. The shape is already angular enough.

THIS CAR IS BADASS, BUT THE HOOD AND THE WEAK CHEAPO SCOOPS LOOK LIKE SHIT. IF THIS CAR HAD THE HEAT EXTRACTOR HOOD ON IT, AND BETTER SCOOPS ALA WWW.RONAELEMUSTANG.COM ON IT, IT WOULD BE PRETTY SICK.

 

[Ry_Trapp0]

why does everyone want functional scoops??? we all know its the front brakes that get the most use so functional scoops are pointless unless on a race car. i still think scoops would make it look better, just doesnt seem like a stang to me without the scoops.

THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I WAS PICTURING IT SHOULD BE. THANK YOU. I'VE BEEN TELLING MY BROTHER AND COUSINS THIS. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS IT SHOULD STAY TRUE TO THE SHELBY NAME, AND NOT LOOK LIKE A MUSTANG GT. WOOD GRAIN STEERING WHEEL WOULD ROCK TOO.
YOU EVEN HAVE THE REVERSE LIGHTS RIGHT WERE I WOULD PUT THEM. PLEASE SEND THESE PICTURES TO SOMEONE AT SVT OR ALL THE FORD MAGAZINES AND TELL THEM THIS CAR HAS TO BE THE NEW SHELBY. THANKS HOTHEAD YOU TOO SEE THE THE LIGHT.

I wouldn't mind a functional scoop behind the doors for brake cooling, but I think those C pillar scoops look rediculous. I mean even if they were functional what the hell would they be for? Intake for a rear engine? Air for rear passengers? It reminds me of that Eclipse in TF&TF with the scoop on the roof.
