Interesting choices. Chrome eyebrows, flames, SRT below the right headlight, non-functional scoop. None of these appeal to me, but interesting none-the-less.

You can put "lipstick" on that Crossfire, but it's still BLACK!

Autozone sells some stick-on side vents that go good with that.

I'm sure everybody is going to find this hard to believe but I think the scoop really doesn't look that bad, in a 1955 T-Birdish kind of way. Everything else.....not so much.
Any scoop can be made functional (if that's your desired intent) but for the most part, they're more for aesthetic value. That is, unless they sit 3 or 4" above the hood line to get above the layer of "dead air" that flows around the car.
I know they're aren't for everybody, but the "intimidation factor" alone has worked great for me. Nobody has challenged me at a traffic light since my scooped hood installation, with the exception of a few Harley's that I embarrased, (but they don't coun't).
As some SRT drivers constantly remind us NA owners, we're too slow to even beat a Camry. So the way I see it "backing em down" is like a WIN for me.

========================= I too have no problem with scoop,but would prefer one molded n like yours. Also most persons do not know what a xfire is, much less a srt6 and would not know, scoop was not just a oem option! May remove are paint it yellow? What to do?

Well, I don't think its bad. I kinda like it, for it is not too big and doesn't disturb the lines much. I am looking to put a cowl on myself but had I bought it that way, I would keep it. Flames not so much

I like the scoop and it can be modded to be functional for sure...
