I've seen them use a Mustang hood scoop. It looks good with just one scoop in the middle of the hood right over the centerline of the hood IMO. Like this:

Wow - functional too. Not sure what I think of the look yet - but even if you don't end up keeping it you may want to try selling that as a complete setup, pretty cool.

In the summer just realign the hood to have a larger space at the back so the heat comes out at the windshield.
