hey myltlpny........i went with the Xexon side scoops on mine. the workmanship was great and they fit perfect on the car. i'm very happy with them. as for the hoodscoop..........i went with the Rousch simply because it fit better with the Shelby stripes. i was able to paint the scoop black with a 2 inch yellow strip down the center. if i had gone with the Xexon scoop i would have had to do more painting and thought the scoop might be too much. but as for your plans......i think the Xexon scoop would work great. the rousch scoop was top quality also. good luck with your plans.myltlpny said:After a long and tedious deliberation, I think I've finally decided on a custom paint scheme for my '05 GT.

Thanks for the feedback. A couple of people have mentioned the Shaker hood scoop. I won't rule it out in the future, but $695.00 on top of the other mods is a bit much. The paint alone is going to cost a pretty penny because I'm having the entire hood done in two coats of clear, not just the black. The rocker panels and spoiler won't be a big deal.
