machman04 · 10-24-2004, 10:39 PM

has anyone replaced there side scoops with the one's made by saleen ? Do you think this would be a good idea ?

BONESTOCK · 10-25-2004, 05:52 AM

I put the Bullitt side scoops on.

03SHKER · 10-25-2004, 02:56 PM

I'm also going with Bullitts. I think they're baddass

2k4mach · 10-25-2004, 03:31 PM

ive never installed a set of saleen side scoops but ive heard from numerous sources that they are a pain to install

powerage · 10-25-2004, 03:37 PM

what do they look like and

what benifits do you get from haveing them installed vs the ones that are already there

TX MACH 1 · 10-25-2004, 03:55 PM

Saleen Side scoops would just be an appearance mod. I think they look pretty good. Definately something different:THUMBSUP:

powerage · 10-25-2004, 04:12 PM

thats ugly

hoop22 · 10-25-2004, 04:23 PM

To each their own, you seem to like to keep everything stock...

Slicksaleen · 10-25-2004, 06:21 PM

I'm actually getting ready to take mine off completely to smooth out the lines a little bit. Of course that is a little more involved body work wise....

2k4mk1 · 10-25-2004, 06:22 PM

I am thinking of deleting them altogether filling the holes and just having the body line that exist behind the scoop.

Thats basically what the Bullitt scoops do.

TheBlkMach1 · 10-25-2004, 10:57 PM

Except that every GT/V-6 has the same side scoops... At least the Scoop is mach specific.

Here are the Bullitt Side Scoops

I have saleen side scoops on my mach. I have won many car shows with them and they are one of the first thig people notice and like.

As for install: They were a pain in the ***.

Don't worry about it. I don't like the Saleen side scoops either. Seems the majority on this board like ugly dress up mods. For example most here like billet and cobra jet emblems too.

If you get the OEM Ford ones they will come unpainted.

Babbat · 10-26-2004, 01:05 PM

The funny thing is that my car has had the suspension gutted and was lowed with PHP springs and Koni Reds

The angle is just strange in the photo. I have to post new pics with the roll cage and Cobra R spoiler.
