That actually looks pretty good. If you didn't have the bumper cover/(body kit?) I would say nah. They go good together. Nice.

EDIT: please tell me those are bugs and not rock chips.

I will be honest, I don't really like it that much. I do however, love the smoked headlights. That looks awesome.

Oh and hey, you've got a rock chip...

I wish they were bugs, all rock chips. I am on the highway alot so there is no preventing the chips, and I am not going to let my car be a garage ornament. I just love to drive this car.

You know from the side I kinda like the scoop. Again, great job detailing.

Sorry It just doesn't look like part of the car, kinda like something stuck on. But you car looks killer otherwise!

It's a bit too bulbous for my taste... Honestly, I'm reminded of the "sticks on with 2-sided tape!" fake hood scoops that one sees at Jegg's or places like that - sorry. The line of the bonnet is just so nice all by itself that this takes away from that look - like a nose or something... (totally IMHO of course).

But hey, like people said, if YOU like it then it's a good thing. I'd add a scoop grille though, for an even cleaner look.

Sorry, not my cup of tea at all. Now if it was blended into the bonnet then it may be OK, but at the moment it looks like a tack add-on rather than an improved function scoop.

Looks good from the side.
Not so sure from the front.

I bet that scoop has a great personality. She just needs a nose job.
