got mine from the local junk yard for $30.....color matched when i had paint work done....took about half a day to put on because i took my time...
here is the underside if you have never seen it
underside
scoop itself
the stock honeycomb grill is big enough to shape it to your hood. takes a little while to do. here is a write up i did on it a long time ago...

Ok here is my truck this is a 1999-2004 mustang hood scoop. they fit the contour of the hood fine EVEN the newer powerdome ranger hoods. you DRILL AND BOLT the scoop onto the hood. DO NOT just use 3M tape BECAUSE there isnt enought material on the underside to stick it too. and YES it will fly off on the freeway if its just taped had a buddy that had one on his 91 ranger and it fly's off about 3 times now lol...
ok you take your time and put 4" masking tape all over the hood so you can write all over it and measure on the hood. find all your holes. check and drill. use touch up paint to touch up the holes. now put the Grille back on the scoop you put it back on the hood, lay the scoop in the holes the best you can. put masking tap on the grille itself then using a protractor scrabe the hood profile onto the grille. use a cutting device and start triming, this will take MANY times to get perfect. then using a sharp utility blade clean up all the edges on the plastic grille. and bolt on. there is a few other minor steps i left out if people want to do this contact me about it. here is the before and after. didnt take pics for the during i was to busy and forgot

I have a thunder bolt one....but not installed. It IS wider and shorter than the Mustang GT one. It's also has alignment pins to be drilled, along with the 3M tape. It's perfect for your hood, Brandon...because you have the 2wd hood. It won't fit right on my 4x4(powerdome hood). The grille sits flush weith your hood w/o modifying it. It might be up for sale if the little brother want to keep his "nostrile" scoops. PM me.
