If your going to go with one of them, definitely go with the Roush. The lunds didn't look to bad on the old body style due to the rounded look, but with the new body style they look out of place..
The Roush has more of the flat look that compliments the 04+ better.

the scoop has cutouts on the interior flange. you have to sort of stretch the scoop around the bolts and it will lock in place. the edges of the scoop are secured with the 3m tape just to ensure a snug fit on all of the edges. i think this is how the factory scoops on the previous mustang gt's were installed as well.
you are left with a seamless scoop that looks more factory than any other bolt/stick on scoop

But, I'll say it again. I don't think I'd ever put a Lund product on my truck!

Kind of the boat that I'm in with this decision...
Honestly, I'm not sure that the two tone will jive with the scoop... but, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

I've had the Roush scoop on for 2 years this July. It's been in 120 degree heat, 60 below zero cold, 140+ mph runs, and through quite a few wash cycles. I didn't drill the holes in my hood, just used the tape. I think I've pretty much hit every extreme short of having some large blunt object hit it straight on, so I'd feel comfortable installing it the same way again.
Just my 2 cents on drilling holes in your hood.
