Opinion on cheap hood scoop, chops inside!

I would basically rivet these on as is. Going for functionality here and cheap looks. If your family jewels were being held hostage and the only ransome was to put one of these on your car, which would it be? (Sizes are kinda messed up)

Number 1:


Number 2:


Flame it if you may, all I have to say, is Good For YOU

I'd just fix the rust and get a normal T/A hood. Would look much better than the scoops like that.

Put the first scoop on the roof, and then the dual scoops on the hood

I would fight to keep the jewels, I wouldn't put any of those on my car.

Then I for sure would have to get a wing. Thats to much money going towards thinking my car is fast, and thats a waste of money.

Both look bad, why isn't "keep it stock" an option? It's not going to make a difference for performance, especially #2.
