3M Hood Scoops???

So id like to hear what you guys have to say about the 3M Hood Scoops. I dont know anything about them. Id like a hood scoop but i dont want to put a hole in my hood, i run the airbox so i dont think a hole would make a difference anyways. But im also worried about taping something to my SS that may blow off, or jack up my paint if i decide to take it off. Any thoughts? anybody have a fake hood scoop out there?

Its all about the prep, mine isn't cheap but it lays flat and the 3m tape is hidden all around by a extra small inner frame. I have had it on the car for 3 years no problems compleatly solid imo... around $120 Slp mustang hood Scoop painted to match see my pics in my gallery!

I would NEVER put a fake scoop on any vehicle I own! They're laughable and obvious. I don't like fake boobs, either.

Yep...the only person that has been able to pull this off is Moon. His scoop looks great and is functional.

I thought the one on my 1st SS was fine , And i made it functional to quiet the haters. At speeds over 130mph , It never moved.
