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

To much work for no reward IMO. Just leave it as is.

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