I say lets see another one with a hood scoop. Keep in mind guys, not everyone likes everything you do! Its your car, so do with it what you want. I like chrome, but it seems everyone on here hates chrome..

I went through this years ago on the BMW board. I put some 19" chrome e65 wheels on my car and the purists lost their minds. We all know what opinions are like though....

Hood scoops look terrible on anything that isn't either a Subaru or a muscle car.

If you want something different for the hood, get a vented one.

I like the BN Sports.

Those aren't scoops.
Those are vents.

This is a scoop


This is a Vent


All the cars in the pictures you posted have vents.

Vents work. Scoops do not. Unless you have a topmount intercooler like a Subaru, or your intake is on top like the first pic.

FinalSC,

None of the cars you posted have hood SCOOPS(to schoop the air. meaning a scoop facing TOWARDS incoming direction of air. as to forcefully direct the air towards a intercooler for example), instead you posted vented hoods(which help dissipate HOT engine temperatures).
