Ahh, ok. They're factory fitted too, it all is, I guess he thought I added all of it, like, trying to make it look cool, it's just a part of the 35th anniversary package. Here's a pic of another 35th, it's all stock...
Hey do you know much about stangs, I noticed your name and figure maybe ya do, anyways if you do I have a question I can't find an answer to. Since I don't really like these inserts, especially the fake hood scoop, I was wondering if a shaker hood and upper intake from a Mach 1 of the same year would fit, cause it would still resemble the 35th anny, but would be functional and actually serve a purpose.
Lol, I guess the name is a bit misleading. I don't really know much at all in detail about them.
I have to say, I wouldn't mind the air intakes so much if they didn't actually LOOK so fake from up close. I hate that honeycomb insert that is so obviously solid and not mesh. You should replace them with something that actually lets the air through (or looks like it does) then I wouldn't mind. I mean - my Subaru has a non-functional air scoop on the hood, but they weren't stupid enough to put a black plastic insert right at the front to make it LOOK fake.
I know it's obvious they're fake, but it just seems as if Ford went to extra lengths to MAKE SURE that nobody mistakes them for real intakes... that's all.
Last year or the year before that, we had to speak in front of the class about a product we thought up.
We used a similar pic for it and we called it the "frexpresso". Everyone knew we were talking about one of the coffee addicted teachers: "Frederickx"
I hate it too, it looks so corny, but I can't decide whether I should remove it all, because it's a limited edition and would ruin the car, and believe it or not... lol, most mustang fans like it.
Anyways next year I'm converting the body style to the '03-'04 Cobra to match the drivetrain, then I'll have no choice.
If you thought those honeycomb inserts were bad, you should see the back panel, I removed it the day I bought it, but here's what it looked like;
Anyways back on topic, my friend is building a case out of an old Nintendo system, the original one! I'll post pics when it's done, should be pretty cool! I wish I had a pic of his last creation, looked as bad as the OP's image, as far as the overkill design.
