I like the look of that myself. I could do the scoops and pin stripes in silver. Still kind of want the scoops silver though. I do think I will do it after seening those though. They look alot better then they sound.

Honestly I like the look of the hood scoop If you like it go for it.
There was a “dealer installed” hood scoop on some 7th gens but I doubt if you could find one.
I have a non functional scoop on my car, it happened because when it came time to cut the hole to make it functional, I got scared.

I say go with the hood scoops you want. If you don't like it then you only have a little money invested rather than the cost of a whole new hood, paint and time to make it functional.

I have been doing some more soul searching. I have bought another bow-tie decal for the back window to replace the one there. It had a few wrinkles in it It is not large like the one that came on the earlier pace cars, but not tiny either. I think I may place it in the center of the hood for now instead of the scoops. Adds a little to the front. I have also gotten a small team monte carlo decal with taz in the background. I think I might put that one on the back window. I will post pics when I am done. Just waiting for a cool day that is not raining so it will stick good, and not bubble.

Well I think I am going to put the scoops on the back burner until I would be able to buy a new hood that is functional. Instead I am thinking of adding a nice large bowtie decal (silver with black shadow). Let me know what you think
