Sorry, gonna have to follow the crowd on this one, neither. I'm a pretty firm believer that if you don't have a legitimate purpose for fluff, you don't add it.

Though if you get the hood scoop, you should probably pick up THIS bad boy.

I HATE STICK ON PARTS! They look so fake and do nothing except make noise when the wind hits them, if I had to get one of them I guess I would go for the hood scoop, not b/c it looks better but b/c I always use those little windows Get a real hood or buy a mustang!

This is disgusting. If a redneck were to trade his IROC Z28 for a Z this is what he would do to it.

Reminds me of the nonfunctional hoodscoop on the last gen mustang. It doesn't even blend with the cars lines

you could alter the hood to make it functional, bondo the seams and repaint it. But by the time you do all that you may as well buy a new hood.

I am kind of partial to the kaminari hood meself.

Neither.

Also one other note, i realize you already paid for the bumper, but if you notice almost everyone is saying they don't like the bumper either.

The paint/install is going to cost a lot more, are you SURE you really want this bumper, at this point you could always sell it somewhere and take some losses but you'd be cutting the losses later when you decide you dont like it at all. Personally i think the Z is already a bubbley (Sp?) looking car and this bumper makes it look too bubbley.

Basically the kits i think look pretty good remind me more of muscles while that bumper reminds me of fat.

Don't take offense, im just giving my opinion and trying to help.

Personally, neither, but if I had to ... Scoop I guess.
None of it appears to flow with the stock car.. My opinion though.
Good luck with whatever you decide and it only matters that YOU like the way it looks.

If you want a vented hood get the C-West.

Regarding the poll, I will take the 5th on that

Yes i like this bumber, each person as there taste. The paint and install is going to cost me 0, nothing, FREE To me the stock bumber looks like flat bull dog style. All the other style bumbers look to racey for me and i have look at alot of them before i desided on this bumber.

As far as the hood scoop or louvers. Im going with you guys on it as NEITHER.

Neither. Also, IMO you got some good advice from AParshall04. That bumper detracts from the lines of the car. No offense intended; it's your car, do what pleases you.
