Side scoop mods??

[MVD]

Anyone get rid of or modify the stock side scoops? I hate them, all they do is collect bugs and stone chips. Does anyone sell a lower profile one (that would be easier than deleting them)?

Thanks

Your sig doesn't say which car you have...I assume it's a Mustang.
Take a look at other models, Bullitt, Cobra, GT, special editions. Some of the scoops are different from the others. Maybe you could find something you like and still get them from Ford parts. Or check out the vendors in the Mustang mags that sell body kits-other variations are probably out there. I've even seen some guys that just remove them, looks pretty clean.

The Bullitt scoops are easier than deleting them, plus they are cheaper....

I posted in the Terminator forum for a reason;-)

That's cool, but not everyone that posts in the Term forum runs a Term. You'd be surprised how many others lurk around here, EVOs, STi's, Z28s, Z06's. You know the type...LOL Nothing against them, just more friendly competition.

When you get your new scoops, post some pics for us.:beer:

Are you referring to the side scoops??

If so they are for nothing other than aesthetics.

IIRC some of the Shelbys - the original ones - had functional scoops, but since then they've all been decorative.

Where can you get the Bullitt scoops the cheapest??

My `94 Cobra`s rear side scoops are functional, . air flows through them into the rear wheel wells, . On my `03 Cobra they are just for looks.

I had a 95 which was also functional (of sorts), but I believe they dropped it in 96 (but not 100% sure when it was closed up, however I do know for sure that in 98 it was just for looks).

I replaced the stock Cobra scoops with the 35th Anniversary ones. Simple replacements. Uses the stock CLIPS .. SALEEN ya gotta drill bolt holes from what I was told

The first run of cars in 96 still carried the functional side scoops, but they had a block off plate in them held in place by 2 plastic rivets.

The second run of cars in 96 and all to current (to the best of my knowledge) have been ornamental only.
