Default Hot or Not?

What do you all think? Would your Fox wear this?

I really like those, is there anywhere to buy them besides from the company? I've heard some bad reviews about their customers service. ~Brian

Looks too rice burner like to me. Looks like something that the imports would have. No offense but don't like them

I agree- no offense, but it looks ricey.

Not quite as bad as the lighted valvestem caps, but ricey none the less...

Then again, it's not my car, so- whatever floats your boat...

I like the one's that don't have those 'scoops' on them. I forget what company makes them but they are the exact same thing but without the scoops. Just a plain flat plastic that you paint to match. The scoops just look very out of place IMO

Stang_Crazy: That one you are referring to is made by Harwood. Only drawback is you can't have wipers. ~Brian

it does look different and some people will find it refreshing to see something different that you can do with the 'stang, but I don't think it matches the lines of the fox body at all. Almost looks like it would match perfectly with the sn95, but they don't have the cowl piece like that.

The stock cowl on the fox does look pretty weird if you focus on it. Maybe I'd change it if someone made a subtle cowl, maybe completely smooth all the way across with some well-spaced reverse louvers in it and you could paint it body color and that would look perfect.

I might look into the Harwood piece for myself. I haven't used my wipers in 2 years.
