What's wrong with Xenon scoops?


Nothing really, its just a personal opinion. I just wasn't impressed with the way they attached to the body of the car, on top of the paint. The Xenon's seem to be alot bigger than what they look like in the pics. The squarish lines on them also look somewhat out of place against the curved lines of the stang.


I dont think i could disagree more... i hate the scoops that only cover that quarter window and are all round looking... they look like a petite little girl... but then again i am kind of partial to the Xenon scoops... see my car above

i was under the impression that they looked really good, as most have said... (and i'm not trying to start anything this is all open minded, mature discussion, no offense is meant to anyone)

You wanna see squared off scoops, look at Cervini's! I think the Xenon scoops strike a nice balance between being smooth to match the curves of the car and angular to stand out a bit. I thing the Razzi scoops look like a$$ since they sit actually INSIDE the quarter window. The size of the Xenon scoops are what I like about them. Not to mention the fact that the Xenon scoops look like they're the same size as the Cervini's scoops.



I agree with you on the xenon look good but as far as the razzi looking like ass well thats your opinion....I don't have to agree with it at least will will_c said it tactfully ...........you are just trying to piss people off. why don't you post pics of you car... difiant so we can see what you have? or are you?

No offense taken, at least from you will_c. All I did was state my opinion, and I said in my post that it was just personal opinion, so I didn't really think anybody would take it personal. Everything we do to mod our cars is all about personal opinions. It would suck if we all had the exact same cars.

If anyone wants to make a choice between Razzi's or Xenon's, feel free to look at my pictures. Its a little easier to tell how the scoop lines look on my white Mustang, rather than the darker colors stangs.

Fizzie, if I was trying to people off, you'd know it. I was simply stating my opinion, and explaining why I don't like the Razzi scoops. I stated almost the exact same thing that will_c did.
If anybody was offended, I apologize. I did not intend to offend or insult.

How much were they Ponygirl? Do you have any photos of them installed?

I like the idea of them coming painted as well.

I got mine from PacificMotorSports as well. I am very happy with the look and the color match. I also bought the Painted Mirror Covers they offer as well. They really set my car apart.

i love the xenons, as well as everyone thats seen em in person.

I really do not like the small scoops that barely cover the window... they look just..... tiny and really out of place. If im gonna put scoops on my car, i want to put SCOOPS on my car, not scoops

hah... well said good fellow, well said... this is true... if scoops are gonna be there may as well make 'em noticeable lol

i dont know.. in my mind, the small scoops that just sit in the quarter window look like an accident...
it kind of gives me the vibe of.."well i wanted scoops, but i wasn't sure i'd like them after they're on the car"... or something like that...
just my... more than likely crazy... opinion

I believe in the classic stangs they were actually vented so air would come in or go out (the slotted designed ones like I have).

I'm not 100% sure but the window scoops were from the original road racing days at Ford. They were for cooling as well as the side scoops.
