Unfortunately, I've had this discussion before but its simply point of view. Number one, I did the full fiberglass hood on my 2001 GP and it was an expensive PITA. Paint and fit were costly, not to mention the hood itself, and a year later it started cracking near the hood hinges. I bought the hood from American Muscle so I assumed it was a quality piece but I've heard similar stories from other owners. Number Two, every single factory hood scoop option for the GP and many other factory models are add-on pieces not molded in. Yes, some are functional but many others are not. Personally, I think a tastefully chosen, paint-matched hood treatment can look just fine, and if that doesn't meet other standards, I'm sorry but there is NO way I'm spending another $600-$1000 for a hood just to have a scoop treatment that means nothing to a fenderwell intake to begin with. Poop on it all you like, but I don't like all black wheels either. If you want them on your ride, your choice. I'm not going to call you wrong for doing what you want to your own car. I don't mean to sound harsh or flaming, but I find it amazing sometimes how the mere mention of an add-on scoop automatically means junk. Yes, you can do it cheap and crappy or you can choose tastefully and paint to match. I don't see a problem with that.
I might also add...why does no one freak out over a bolt-on/stick-on rear spoiler?
