yeah I think they are not that pretty, but for whatever reason they still look good on a GT.

The sequential scoop is the best IMO, just one though.

Go with your instincts mate. You never know until you've tried it.
Make your car unique, it's what sets it apart from the mainstream ;)

you know the el xr vents, well the one that sits over the airbox there is a replacement that acts as a scoop.

i love the gt scoop but i think i only like it on the gt i think.

IF you want to, why not. Your car your choice.

My opinion, unsure. Don't know how it would blend with the XR Front

I've always found that sequential scoop a little odd.
But it serves its purpose if your got your airbox opened up.

Yeah cant say I'm the biggest fan of them either, looks uneven. But as you said it serves a purpose.

There are various places that sell "copy" sequential scoops BUT i have never purchased one so I dont know which ones look the goods and which ones don't.

I am sure some members who have them can point you in the right direction.

Also I am unsure if you can still get the from Ford......
