Should Bonet Scoops be factory fitted!

the 03 cobra has them. I don't mine these ones.

My bloody oath they should. Bonnet scoops, Functional shakers, you name it it should be factory fitted!

I love the '03 stang bonnet too. That looks sweet!

I concur. I really love the scoops on the EL XR's.

MrPlow2 · 02-10-2002, 15:32

bring back the scoops i say!

hmmm... what about a louvred bonnet? i think AU XR8 would look just plain old mean with some louvres on the bonnet!

The XR's should have bonnet scoops but i don't think all Tickford vehicles should.

I think XRs should have some form of hood scoop. The EF & EL XRs looked great with them. They weren't huge, but added to the toughness of the car immensly.
The current T-Series cars would look fantastic with a vented power bulge like the 300+ show was last year.
As for anything with the letters G.T. attached to it OF COURSE IT WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC WITH A BIG SCOOP OR SCOOPS! (styled into the car of course). Ford and Tickford succeeded with the look of the EB & EL G.T. in that regard.
Oh, and make it functional so you can put a sticker on the side of it with something written on it like "351 RAM AIR" or "E.F.I. RAM AIR".

I agree scoops like the Mustang one pictured or a Shaker would be good. Shaker only if they bring back GT/GTHO models, not for XR series cars IMO. A scoop that is actually crafted into the bonnet, not just some fibreglass add-on is what's required. I think we could probably do without the "Ram Air" or similar stickers though, a bit too ricey IMO.

Simple...... Bonnet Vents rule.!!!!!!!
Should be bought back.....

The RAM AIR stickers were around before Rice was even invented. The dont have to be huge, just subtle.

P.S. What does IMO & LOL mean?
