If you do not like the way your question was answered and the free advice you got then too f'n bad...
RoadconeTuning said:wow.... you people got hardcore against this... if i was planning on spending a buncha money on glassing it in and repainting i would just buy the cobraR hood or 03 cobra hood i want... all you had to say was, its not fastend to the hood well enough to do that and will tear off when going down the road.
jstreet0204 said:That scoop is pretty flimsy and the grill is the main support for it. I think if you take it out, it may ripp off. If I wasn't using it to cool off my blower I wouldn't bother with it.
02FastbackGT said:If you really want a functional hood scoop, you should do the shaker install. It's original for the GT's and looks cool!! A customized GT hood scoop would look the same, but could even cause damage. I've heard of the whole scoop blowing off due to too much air flow.
Mustang5L5 said:Don't totally remove the black insert. It will cause the scoop to rip off at high speed.
hognutz said:you would regret doing this.
1. it would rip off at high speed
2. it would let too much crap in
Dragstr05 said:I wouldnt do it. I know someone personally who ended up buying a new hood because he turned his stock hood into a "ram air" setup. It ripped right off, and scratched up his roof.
drag0nfan's04GT said:Mustang5L5 and others are correct. If you take out the plastic insert only, it may look cool, but the scoop will no handle the extra air coming in. I can say this from experience.
john_324 said:but I still wonder if a functional scoop is really sucking in any great additional amounts of air.
