    Sadly a lot of people. So many that they added a scoop to many of the newer Mustangs. Hell even the Shelby GT 500 has fake scoops on it. This is no different than the fools adding portholes to their PT Cruisers.

    This is just the n-th iteration of the park bench rear wings on front wheel drive cars. I've seen people talk about mounting front mounted intercoolers behind the grille for the best visual effect and they aren't even force induction!

    I call it peacock syndrome. Look good, damn the practicality.

    New SBB That HURT

    Look, it comes down to this: Some kid went out and bought a Neon, and now realizes his mistake but cant do anything about it. So, grab the JC Whitney catalog and order a bunch of crap to glue onto the trusty ride in hopes nobody will notice his mistake. In so doing, he actually begins to believe that his car has something going for it. Poor, misinformed bastard punk. :bla:

    Even the manufacturer knows the crowd they are selling to. Notice how slow the narrator is talking?? Thats so all the morons that buy into this crap can try to actually comprehend the installation process....:Dou:

    The hood scoop was 'not that bad' but the turbo vents... cripes...

    our whole office is laughing at this one but we know where the real power is. Next they will be making that North American muscle sound come out of their speakers as a audible illusion.

    I like the Puked a little comment,,, very fitting

    Doo Wop Where were you in '62?

    The obvious point to me and is funny......is they used at least a half way good looking dimwit. Of course to distract other like minded dimwits and that is to keep them from knowing this pure junk.

    And of course using her hands hoping that all dimwits will wait for another all too brief glimpse of her face.:Dou: :Dou:

    Doo Wop Where were you in '62?

    And of course all dimits mentioned above are left hoping for at least the brief listen for the sound of the above mentioned dimwit girl. A yeah, a familar voice....just maybe???

    Sad part is people are taught to use this trick by others "in the busisness.":Dou: :Dou: :Dou: :Dou:

    BUICKRAT Got any treats?

    Todays version of chrome valve covers and cragars, when I was 16 I would have had a scoop in a flash if it was that easy. There was no sticky tape back then, the best we had was camper tape, remember that stuff? You could make it 2 sided by glueing two pieces of it together with weatherstrip adhesive...

    GSXMEN Got Jesus?

    Not to rain on any parades, but....

    Isn't this the Parts for Sale section? The Bench would be a more appropriate place for commentary.
