What would look better?

I was wondering if I should just get a plain cf hood or one with a scoop in it what do you think? and if I do get a scoop what kind should it be?

Get OEM style CF hood, then pay someone to put a little offset-to-the-passenger-side scoop and make it a ram air CF hood!

i like OEM. It would be tough to make a scoop look good on a CL hood because of the lines. (IMO)

make a hood scoop out of a CF hood would be some hard work considering once the CF is set it is hard to mod it to make it work for the application that you want

if you wanted a scoop on the hood i would recommend getting the scoop made off the hood and then take it to fiber images and get the scoop and the hood molded correctly so that the lines of the CF flow, cause messing with CF and modding is hard work and take time

WTF u mean its not American? You just posted a picture of it on a mustang.

I don't remember any new porche's having that hood at all.

And if you're referring to the cowl hood, since thats what you quoted...Do you even frigging know what a cowl hood is?

That is an aftermarket hood obviously on that mustang, which means that scoop was BUILT for an american car. WTF is with all the hate? That style of hood scoop was first built for porsche's in the 80's. So no, no new ones have it. In fact i don't even like it on the mustang. But that is the best picture i could find of what i've been talking about.
