I like it man. Although I do agree that painting it gloss black would look a little bit better. Awesome otherwise!

I also agree that it looks good.... for me thou, I may have mounted it about 3 inches more away from the windshield...

 I wanted to put it over the intake manifold that why it is  mounted where it is ..of course on a non functional scoop i have no reasonable explanation as to why .:hick:

I can see where you are coming from though , and it would look good a little father forward  also. ;)

I couldn't tell in the picture that it's functional.... how big of a hole did you cut in the hood?

Go ahead and make it functional... anything you can do to lower under hood temps is a good thing... :D

Different doesn't always work, but in this case I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Looks awesome, dude :)

I think the color definitely needs to be the same as the rest of the hood. I don't hate it but, the eye keeps seeing the satin black on the gloss black.

What may make the difference is as Jerry said.  If you plan on painting the car something more '69/70 ish, say red or blue, then I think the black scoop will work more, but black on black is not working for me.  I know a guy who has a '96 black Mustang GT, and he added the satin black stripes over the top, and they stick out like a sore thumb, But to each their own.  (I'm using a Mach 1 hood, myself)

I always say, dare to be different as well.

That's it. The black on black, rather then a black on color, is the eye catcher.
