Thoughts On Mustang Fake Hood And Side Scoops

If you're gonna do that you might as well do a termi front bumper swap while you're at it. They have holes to run duct to cool brakes. But unless you're planning on doing some serious auto crossing with the car you will never heat the brakes enough to need it.

No interest in auto-x, just open track. I already have the cooling duct brackets on the car for the 00R calipers. I am just going to take the fog lamps out and run the ducting up there.
 
ANYONE have a black front bumper on there colored car... would like to see what a black front bumper on a different color car would look like... I just received my black headlights, grill delete and chin spoiler and was thinking it might look stealthy or stupid ... thoughts, pics, anything would be great

Here is the only thing I could find. This was right after I bought my car It was wrecked. The car is red with a black hood and bumper. The passenger side fender was yellow, but you can't see it. lol

well... ;) they were open, but I don't think there was much of an actual "function" going on. Unless you added some ducting to the rear brakes and even then, any sort of improvement would be next to impossible to measure...
 
whaaat why did for get away from that then? the plastic inserts are useless... and when removed doesn't make a difference

Real scoops are worthless too.

People have no idea how aerodynamics work especially concerned with high/low pressure spots. Functional scoops on most street cars are poorly designed. They for an area of high pressure (due to the turbulence created by the scoop itself) directly around the "scoop" which forms an "invisible forcefield" around the scoop, diverting oncoming air around it and not into it. Even "functional" scoops on factory cars are non-functional. Don't get caught up in that garbage.

Probably why they eliminated them.

Rear brakes on a GT/V6 weren't really that impressive anyway. Doubt they needed that much cooling in stop and go traffic
 
Anyone else wish there mustang had hood scoop and side scoops that were there for a reason... fake ones just well wtff
I had thought on my 99 Mustang six how cool it would be to remove the fake hood scoop insert, and perhaps place a cool light that would actually be functional to better light up the road, or a neat animation or something useful - perhaps even a hood blinker that would blink for a left or right turn - perhaps with a Mustang going left or right -
