Thoughts on fake air scoops

[Firststang]

Thanks for all of your opinions guys.
I like the way these cosmetic scoops look on cars. I know as many people love them as do hate them. Was mainly wondering if there are issues with them falling off or the abs warping in the heat.
Appreciate all of your opinions.

For me, I will possibly go with the Roush Side scoops to match my future roush wing but hold out on any type of hood scoop since it's not really appealing TO ME.

dont forget to get your pair of stick on hood heat extractors!!

Noooooooooooooo! :headbonk:

Well, if that's the look you're going for, it's a good one.

IMO, it doesn't look right with this car. The vehicle is perfect the way it is.

People ask for opinions all the time. Natural. "Do you like xx exhty hryaust?" "Did you like the new xx movie?" "What did you think of xx restaurant?" Most people ask for opinions/read reviews on something before parting with their money.

I think the title said fake side scopes,i dont see many opnions on how they perform,since they are fake,if u like how they look who cares what anyone eles thinks.Now i think the op was asking who well they hold up and if anyone has had problems with them falling off,which is fine,but like in the other thread thats not the direction this thread was heading.

:cheers:

i love them...

Could you post a straight on side shot like the one Stam posted below for his Cervini side scoops? I'm persoanlly thinking I'd prefer the lower profile and more angular Roush side scoops, but it would be helpful to see an apples to apples side shot of your Roush scoops to compare with Stam's Cervinis.
If you cut and paste Stam's pic in the same post, that would be great extra credit!

this is the most straight side shot i have right now

Here's that side shot from me - hope this helps!

I personally like them. I have had issues with the hood scoop fitment but that was taken care of by roush. The side scoops are great. 5 minutes to put them on and I cant even imagine what it would take to get them off.

What is your experience with them at high speeds? That is what I wonder about them. They look nice but do they create any drag or noise at high speed? I used hate my 05 WRX going fast on the hwy I thought my hood scoop was going to rip off and that was functional with the TMIC. You could visibly see it put pressure on the hood and made noise. Nothing ever broke but it was unsettling.

Car went 12.1@115 several times this weekend. No noise, no fear of it ripping off. The hood scoop is held on with bolts. It's not going anywhere.
