seriously though, that prepainted aluminum Foose hood is a STEAL - I'd get theirs in a heartbeat if I could - and the CDC shaker kit. a lot of guys in here sawed out their painted factory hoods with no issues at all- these glass hoods weigh a lot, and although its a nice piece of fiberglass, they aint perfect- the foose aluminum hood is a really nice piece.
The aeroform/fang hood comes prefinished, but the 'ring' around the scoop is molded to the hood, and it seemed a little thick to me, kinda covers more of the scoop inlet than I'd have liked...the CDC ring might need a little tweaking to form around the 'spear' in the foose hood, but I'm sure it wouldnt be a big deal.
My 'shaker' dont shake- I put the blockoff plate for their mach1 scoop under it, and made a gasket/backup plate/standoffs to get the scoop as high as possible...was kinda a PITA, but I wanted to leave room under the hood for a blower someday...heavy/a little bit of work, but I agree with DanG- 'fang had the right idea with that hood', just had to get one...
the Foose with CDC shaker would be a superior setup with the same look- and right now, would be cheaper!

the hood/shaker is still available from aeroform- it comes with the hole. I didnt get the whole kit with the engine cover/parts(see below) so it saved a few bucks, think it still cost like 900 with shipping...plus a few hours to get the scoop in and paint it. only issue with the hood, it rubs the plastic right at the rear corners by the wipers- think its just a touch too thick to clear if shimmed for level with the fenders. the hoods kinda funny as the scoop blows thru a tunnel in the hoods underside to the airbox, it came with a cap for the airbox lid that seals to the hood 'port'- looks soooo restrictive to me, dont seem like it would do much, but you sure can hear the difference. Th 'snorkel' like thing that ducts the air to the bottom of the airbox looked to make filter replacements totally impossible, didnt get instructions but it all only fits one way- I split it inline with the airbox lid split so its not too big a deal to change the filter, but getting a tight fitting split/cutting the hole in the airbox/cramming it back in the fenderwell was kinda fun...

Thanks for the info Tim! I just ordered from CDC today. I got the Stallion Hood (Vista Blue) and the hood struts!
I can't wait to get everything installed

You're welcome 69! And be sure to post up pics once it is all installed. I love the Fang equipment but the CDC Stallion piece is well worth the money. And it comes prestamped if you do decide to add a shaker to it. Right now I'm torn between shaker and a scoop.

I piked up mine last year from CDC for $250 after I won a $200 gift at the Mustang Memories show in Michigan. I just put it on the car, but it needs paint as it is currently painted bright red and my car is Windveil Blue.
Now I am contemplating mating it with a Shaker system. I am going after a real retro look with the car.

I ended up getting the CDC aluminum hood, and cutting it for my Fang Shaker set up. I like how it sits a bit further back on the hood...
