Looks great! I've been on the fence about getting one. The possibility of issues that some seem to attribute to the scoop concerns me though.

Care to expand on the issues? I didn't read any when I was researching it before purchase.

There's a thread or two on here about stalling after driving at speed (on highways) when stopping at a stop light. There's no proof, just conjecture. But it's been suggested that the computer is getting used to the increased air flow from the scoop then has a hiccup when trying to adjust back to "scoopless" driving. Obviously not a major issue. Minor nuisance. Also, I'm no expert on this subject. Just what I read.

Did a few pulls tonight and cruised around at normal speeds. No negative effect so far. The air is cool in the evenings now, and with the scoop I feel the car may pull a bit harder at higher rpm's. Gentlemen did give me a compliment on the car at the gas station though lol. Asked if it was a 2013...

I dont think the scoop adds any performance gain. Maybe a few ponnies at the top end and going over 100mph.
That being said, i do have it on my car (got a used one for a really good price). It does look kinda cool (like it sticking out its tounge I dont have issue with the scoop ( in combination with the Afe filter) |

However, no one has been able to dyno (besides RPI) any gains for the scoop. Even using large fans. So for now we don't know if it actually does add any performance or is just placebo.
