So i finally finished getting the extra cash for a working scoop project for the car. Pft... i didnt even have to get a new hood like they told me that was required for the 03-04 model hood. Everything lined up perfectly and installation was a snap, sent the applique to get painted to match the hood since i figured itd look a lil better then the black. What do you guys think of it?http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c329/Burtonkid17/Picture033.jpg

looks nice. if the stripes would have been black that wouldve been awesome! looks good tho. i wish i had a shaker

are those stripes paint or vinyl?

i had vinyl black put on mine and what a F(beep)'n disaster. they are still on there now, going to get a paint estimate, then see if im going to get a cowl hood to fit an m112.

car looks awesome, i love red and i love stripes. white was the proper color for you, but not for the shaker piece.

Yea thats the only through off but i like the look for some reason.

There painted on too, not vinyl. I asked about vinyl and i was told worst way to go so i actually had them painted on.

I like the scoop, but I'm not a fan of the stripes that go all the way to the bumpers. Nice ride though![sm=smiley20.gif]

i love the car man it looks awesome .. nice shaker too

awesome job man that looks great.....i would love to have a shaker but i cant now lol

where in ma you from?

North Brookfield, western part of mass. Thanks for the comments also guys. :]

Looks good !

very nice! i actually like thestripes on there, it makes the applique look really good. a lot of the time they look cheap but it looks nice with the stripes on it. it kinda ties it into the rest of the hood. i love the shaker. by farthe favorite part of my car.

deffently, starting the car up for the first time i thought it was the coolest thing, but shifting gears you can notice it move a lil bit which is pretty cool.

How far away are you from Athol? I should probably know where North Brookfield is, but I don't...

yea, its fun to watch. startup is the best thing ever. lol.

so you had the reverse cowl hood and it worked fine? thanks good to know if so.

you and matt need to put a cam in your car...THEN it would be amazing.....my motor shakes all over the place with my cam

That might be my next thing to work on, but wont be for a lil while, the damn stang is a money pit, butshe is well worth it but theres bills to pay ya know? :D

Athol is about 45mins from north brookfield, your just north of me i think. Couple towns down of Oakham

i asked someone to paint and they said vinyl.
i had vinyl done and it looked so awful (because the shop F'd it up). The FIRST thing i asked, is will my reverse cowl hood give a problem? they gave me a refund. i kept them on there because only my car enthusiasts friends know how horrible the job was done. they are hood to spoiler now.

i'm going to go get paint, bumper to bumper. 2005+ look better than our model with stripes, but bumper to bumper is still awesome. around here everyone has a mustang, gotta have a lil something to stand out. i def like yours

Theres one other stang around my area that has the same paintjob as me after he saw my paintjob. But his red stang has the orange tint to it which doesnt look all that great with white stripes, but still looks unique because theres so many mustangs around my area also. But when they ask me what its got under the hood i just tell them its a sixxer and there confused because of the sound from the duel flows on it. Always like the compliments are the gas stations and such.

Does anyone know if this really works on the reverse style hood? Because I called the manufacture and they stated it would not...but this guy claimed it did so I am really confused because I want the kit so bad I can taste it but I dont want to spend my money on something that will not work.......=-( although I want it to...

E-mail sent, picture was found so youll be getting a second email man.

Honest opinion:

its a huge waste (1)
its horrible looking w/o the mach 1 hood (2)

Theirs only 1 v6 that I like with that shaker...


Edit:
I think it would have been better off with lowering spring, and white bullits... I do like the red/white stripe theme you have going.

Looks good. What's next?

Hmmm..I dunno bout it...I like the idea but I think it wouldve looked better with out the stripes...but you shouldnt care what I think...as long as you like it then thats all that matters.

I'd like it better if it was an actual Mach1 hood. The CDC piece just looks cheap IMO.

i like it, looks great =]

i like the shaker hood that color...leave it black, for sure.

Thanks, i would of got with a Mach1 Hood BUUUTTTT, it would of costed me more then i was wanting to spend on something that doesnt do much of a gain of HP in the first place. I was more then i wanted to spend the way it is right now but i like it as it is. It costed me roughly around a grand total for the whole thing. Meaning finding a good deal on the kit which i did brandnew for $650 which the kit goes for 800. Then took it to get painted and cut out and all for another 400. So i dont even wanna imagine what id cost for a new hood, getting it painted and with stripes. lol. But thanks for all the comments.

You do realize that the shaker doesn't add any HP at all right?

ORIGINAL: StangKid018

Ok fine 0hp...

Better :D?

Yes i know it doesnt add anything. I bought it because i wanted it, i wanted a real functional scoop and not a GT Scoop like most people would go. It was my project to work on and i know im not going to have the car for 2 more years so i figured id slap something on that would make it unique compared to all the other v6s around here.

is the shaker actually hooked up to anything, or is it 100% cosmetic?

...i mean not like it really does much of anything for the machs anyway...

Q: what is the real function of the shaker....
A: to sell it to old men who wanna try to bring back their child hood days with a mach 1

Hey...leave the guy alone! I think it looks great man. And its his car...let him do what he thinks looks good. It doesn't matter what ya'll think anyways haha. And SSStang...how much HP did that body kit add to your car? Or how about those aftermarket wheels? The little fog lights in the bumper? Be nice guys...he just spent a grand making his car look great!:)

Not nearly as much as the vortech....

But I can justify spending 1k on a full kit vs a 8x8 plastic thingy that shakes!!!!

Oh stfu man, all you ever say is **** that doesnt justify to your likings or qualifys to your needs. So if you wanna be an ass, go some where else because all your doing is making yourself look like a dick like you always do if. All i ever see from you is negative posts or remarks. Dont like what i have to say about you? I dont really care. EDITED: And just so you know its not a 8x8 plastic thing that moves its actually steel, just throughing that out there. Im pretty sure if it was plastic youd see a hunk/glob of black piece of crap moving since it sits on the engine.

cbgammel05, Thanks man. :]

Wow, no need to get so defensive kid. You do know that he was being sarcastic on the last post he made on page2, right? Also, he was referring to the applique being plastic (which it is) and actually your shaker is made out of aluminum, not steel.

I wonder if I should really care about making myself look like a "dick".... You post on a forum, you get opinions, and you go on about life. Do you think I throw a fit everytime somebody says the don't like my body kit? Hell no, but its picked up its fair share of nice comments in person, and brough me home trophies and plaques ..... so some people don't like it no reason to throw a fit.

did i say anything about your body kit? no. I said all you do is post negative comments about stuff wether it looks good or not. I know i posted the forum for a reason and it sure as hell wasnt so you could go on about you being an ass. And i never through a fit, i made a broad statement about whats true, you post just to be an ass. Plain and simple.

And about your supercharger comment...not everyone has the money to spend on that...so they do what they can...I'm pretty sure you wouldnt walk up to someone is person and call their car cheap...lets just be nice guys...common' :)

Walk up to just out of the blue, No however....
If somebody said "hey what do you think about this" I would tell them what I thought. Same rule in forum, you pot on forum for OPINIONS and you get one. I've seen s/c kits for our cars go for 800$ more than what he paid for that shaker.... nitrous kits are only half of what he paid :D

Ok fine my cars cheap, blah blah blah ssstang... Sorry id rather make my car look like american muscle instead of kill it with a rice kit. Dont get me wrong some kits look good on stangs but yours does not.

O...K...?

Don't worry about VCS man, just look at his body kit and you'll realise this guy has no taste. So what if it's supercharged, it looks like a goddamn honda. His wing looks like the sh!t the santa clause sat on at the mall this past christmas.

And dude, VCS, you do realise most car shows are based primarily on just how much sh!t is done to the car, not how nice it looks right? Fock your trophies.

My comments have nothing to do with taste, the cdc applique and my body kit rate about the same on the general "opinon" list. I mean 1000$ wasted on that, I would have just bought this: http://v6power.net/vb/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=37247

I could get rid of my body kit right now if I really wanted but, I don't feel like paying for the new one to be pained.:D


Oh however I didn't ask for opinions on my body kit, he asked for opinions on his shaker hood.

Well, as with every thread here in the sixxer section, has to turn to the dark side. I personally like the shaker setup, but for the money, I say hell no, but that's me. You can't post up pictures of your ride and expect everyone to love it, it's just NOT going to happen. I think it would look better without the stripes, but it's not my car, it's YOURS!! There is no reason to result in a text battle over your personal car, we all have our likings and justify spending money on the things we want or need. Hell, I think VSS is a dick most of the time too, but for the most part, he's pretty knowledgeable, and helps out with meaningful info. He can't help the fact that he's young, arrogant, and cocky, I was too at his age. I will tell you, VSS and I have battled it out before, but it's water under the bridge. It means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!![sm=lildevil.gif]

I convey them the same way in person, If I don't like it and you ask I'll straight up tell you. I would rather somebody tell me the same when I ask for an opinion then try to beat around the bush and find a nice way to say it.

that looks sick. where did u get the shake from? is it a mach shaker?

If people would just get laid this would be a happier place. But I aint getting none either so F*CK YOU ALL!!! LOL! My wife hates me right now ^_^ yay!

I like the shaker look but I also like the stock Mach 1 hood, there is also a carbon fiber unit that looks awesome (Styling, not cause its carbon fiber, I would paint it imo.) I saw it in a 2 year old issue of MM&FF and its styling is based on the 94-98 V6/GT hood but with the same cowl as the Mach 1. Whenever my project gets driveable I will grab one.

Now for the horsepower gained by ram air, it simply doesnt work.
Porche had a write up about theirCaymen and911 GT2ram air. Real horsepower wasnt gained untill tripple digits. But thats Porche and they are using the Ram air also as additional cooling.

Here is some helpful info http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1129295&highlight=ram+air&forum_i d=1

Just google search "Ram air Myth" and you will find many factoids.

Myth or not, Ram air still sounds impressive and 99% of the people you talk to about it or see the car won't know anyway.
