i love mine! took the advice of swapping over the rubber gasket and I am super happy I did, totally completes the look. The hood scoop came with this thin strip of styrofoam that outlined the entire scoop, but i ripped that off and put the oem gasket on. Totally completes the look.

I do have to say my favorite view of it is from behind in the drivers seat.

You can put or make rubber or plastic washers and put them on each bolt to elevat the scoop from the hood this will compensate for what the big rubber black blocks do
Not a good idea if you want water getting into the engine bay sure....

Why is the Seibon hood scoop so much more expensive than the AOR scoop
