GT hood and side scoops?

danlon3.8 · 04-01-2008, 03:31 PM

im might be buying a set of GT side scoops and the hood scoop to go with it but i could use a few tips on how to install them on my V6 stang. is there some certain way that i need to take my stock side scoops off?

the side scoops will pop right out with a little bit of force. They are held in by plastic tabs.

haha, I dont know why you want to put fake scoops on your car, when it never had them to begin with. fake scoops are bad..mmmmkay.

but if ya gotta do it, the side scoops pull off, its hard sometimes, you might need a PLASTIC pry tool to pry them enough to grab 'em with your hands and pull them the rest of the way off. Get all new clips for both sides so you dont have to worry about not breaking them when you yank the sidescoops off.

to put a GT hood scoop on your car the factory way, you are gonna have to drill holes in your hood. get a factory scoop with all the correct hardware. the factory part will fit the best and the hole drilling patterns are common. probably come with the scoop perhaps.

I say leave it alone, fake scoops are lame. but some ppl like 'em. and they think scoopless is lame. do what you think will look good, but for the love of FSM, do not put GT emblems on it. that is RICER as fizzuk.

correct me if I'm wrong but a side scoop is a side scoop. I know the bullitt side scoop is different but when I've looked at a GT and a V6 I notice nothing different (that is if were talking new edge). At least a hood scoop you notice but putting a gt side scoop (if theres even a diff) seems like a waste

wow, you haven't really looked at them both have you? lets take your car for example... you have a side scoop, that is a scoop(fake)...it has a grille in it...well a fake grill. But it's a "scoop."

The Bullitt side "scoops" arent actually scoops. They are basically scoop delete panels. so I guess really they are called Bullitt side panels? I dunno, but they arent scoops.

yea im not looking to put the gt emblems on it haha i just want the nice look. i have a friend that has a gt and the side scoops on his actually look like they might stick out a lil further but idk. and when you said that the hood scoop needs to be drilled into the hood, would i put that right over the little stock scoop? cuz that is apart of the hood right?

I'm confused

. I know my scoop is fake and I know a bullitt scoop is just removed, that wasn't my point. A GT has a fake scoop also so my statement was whats the point of replacing a V6 scoop with a GT scoop there both basically the same UNLIKE the bullitt where theres actually a difference. In no way was I saying my scoop is the same as a bullit scoop (side panel) haha

gotcha. I was hoping you knew that!! lol.

I think the v6 hood's "scoop" isnt really a scoop. Its a fake vent...still fake, but better than a fake scoop IMO.

danlon3.8 · 04-01-2008, 07:07 PM

yea lol so hold on. the side scoops on the gt are fake too? are they just for looks or does it actually serve a purpose like the hood scoop?

they are fake. no air flows through them at all. they are there for looks, and IMO they dont look very good. I'd rather have v6 scoops over GT scoops. heck a v6 sidescoop is the same one as the 99 Cobras had.

Hood scoop serves no purpose either. The ONLY 99-4 mustang with a functional hood scoop is the Mach-1.

Hey zig, chin spoilers are only 80$ this month.

thanks man i was actually about to buy one but for full price

crzypny232 · 04-02-2008, 01:46 PM

none of these "scoops" or anything else do anything for the car except enhance the looks of the car. The If you want performance, buy the shaker system from AM for $700. Other than that, there is no need for GT scoops or anything else. Hell, why dont you just forget the scoops and buy a Stalker Kit with a Cobra hood
