Never said I have a faster car. I know my car is slower than modded cars. After all it only has a CIA and tune. Its called breaking you balls for deciding to call folks bitches. I happen to like some of the scoops on the s550s.
You completely missed the point my first post then. It doesnt matter if your faster or slower. Doesnt matter if you like scoops or dont like scoops. The point I was making is different strokes for different folks. Ever thread gets weighed down with BS. Instead of just answering the original question that was asked. NO IM NOT AWARE OF ANYONE MAKING THAT TYPE OF SCOOP FOR THE 18S. See simple.

I guess functionality is my litmus test. The new wing on the 18-19 PP1 cars is ridiculous, because it doesn't do anything. Side-scoops, hood-scoops, and other such stuff, looks really silly. Add in that it does nothing, and it's........even more silly.

But, yeah, DSFDF.
That can be said for any of the “styling” features on most cars.

Many of us cannot understand the proliferation of side scoops. It is DSFDF. I grew up when Mustangs had shaker hoods and numerous others. My 72' Comet GT had one on it and the first mod on my 13' was a Roush hood scoop.
The first DSFDF was 10 posts ago. Some people said scoops look silly and don't do anything. Obviously anything that involves looks is purely subjective, but a scoop that goes nowhere objectively does nothing (at least nothing good).

Anderson Composites makes one sort of similar. I would guess there are others around if you look. https://www.americanmuscle.com/anderson-composites-ram-air-hood-carbon-fiber-2018-gt-ecoboost.html

I miss the 60's Corvette forum where I went to gain information on restoring my dad's '66 BB coupe. The old folks over there might be lazy, but they act much more grown up than some over here.

OP that picture of the hood scoop looks like a Roush hood scoop for a 15-17’s. On Roush’s web site they don’t list one for a 18-19’s.

Considering that the 2018 OEM hood does not follow the same profile lines of the earlier year models, I would guess NEVER!!

But then I could never understand why someone would choose to add a aftermarket item that created wind resistance.
Exactly...just like the stick on side scoops?????

Yep...I’m guessing you don’t like breast implants either... fake for sure, useless!!
Actually... it’s about choices... period. Just don’t have to slam the guys and their mods if you don’t like them!! Be pretty boring if we all liked the same things!!!!

Well done breast implants are one of the best things on this planet! To quote Jack Black in Shallow Hal: "I can squeeze them that's real enough for me."

Whereas with stick on fake vents on cars - you can't squeeze them, so IMO they are a waste. To each his own, though.

Ford's website say the wing is a "Performance rear wing". That sort of implies it provides a little down force, or something. I don't know, but I do like the way it looks a lot compared to a blade style that really does nothing.
