Thanks for the input everyone .

If I had Jerry's body work skills it would definitely be gloss black.:D


It does actually match the door mirrors really well now though.



For now I'm going to leave it be

Hey try turning the scoop around forward and take some more shots of it so we can see what it would look like. I have a scoop like that and I plan on putting it on my Cougar but facing forward.

I have to say... I think that would be a very bad idea.  The scoop tapers in width, would be opposite of the hood taper.  :flame:

That is the scoop I was wondering how would look on these cars.  Thanks for the pics, I wonder what gloss black and slid a few inches forward would look like?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'd like to know that too :hick:






If I were to do it over I might move it forward, But I do like the way it looks overall .

I think this looks better than 95% of bolt on scoops, but im still of the thought to avoid scoops unless you have to have them for clearance reasons.

The lines of our cars are "sleeker" than stangs, but they still taper in similar ways, and the scoop looks great backwards on fox stangs, so give it a shot if you can.

Either way, bravo on trying something different that came out pretty  good.
