Hey guys...I just had a quick question regarding hood scoops. Is it fine to just put it on without there being a hole on the actual hood? Thats what hood scoops are for right? to let air in..Also can you guys link me to some of your personal favorites?
Thanks

the more cold air the better...engine runs cooler at the least...if you can get it pushed into the engine even better except for most new mustangs pull their air from some place other than the hood

If you look at the hood scoops in the middle of the hood, and the position of the stock airbox, then you know why the scoops are fake. They would do very little since they don't channel cold air to the airbox. A functional hood would be your best bet for getting colder air in there.
Sweet, thanks guys! Thats pretty much what I thought but did not wanna say aloud (hood scoops are cosmetic)....Im going to look into getting hood and side scoops now!

are the factory hood scoops bolt on? i would think that would be way better than a stick-on. is that a dealer item only?
My hood scoop is attached with just 3M tape and I've never had any problems with it. Today's adhesives can be tenacious.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.
The GT apperance package hood scoops are bolt and 3M taped. No hole in the hood. And yes you suffer from the high speed Testies in your throat hood dance. I'm going to get some hood pins to stop that.
