Help me pick a hood (lots of pics)

So here is my car as of now.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...ang1212007.jpg

It has mostly Cervini parts from their Eleanor kit, but without the front bumper and hood. I knew when I first got my Mustang that I'd want to change the hood, but I never found one that was exactly what I wanted. Here are the options I'm currently looking at though, and I also plan to do stripes at the same time.

There are 3 Cervini hoods that I like; mostly because the quality of their Eleanor parts was pretty good and I'm confident that the hood quality would be up there as well.

The last one I didn't care for as much until I saw what another member did with stripes on it.

And there's also a hood from FcCustoms that I like.

The FC looks alot like the second Cervini, but they offer it as a lift off, which is interesting.

For stripes I'm thinking Satin Silver or Tungsten Grey with a dark blue pinstripe. I like most of these hoods because I can do something non-traditional with the stripes, such as the break on the stripes of theFC hood under the scoops.

Along with the hood I would also get a chin spoiler and some other additions to the front bumper (grille, etc), but I'm not sure if I want to entirely replace the front bumper.

I would appreciate any feedback, especially from those of you who may have one of these hoods already.

I don't really care for the Saleen hood for the same reason I don't like the cobra one. I just look at the vents on both hoods and they look cheap to me.

I just can't get past the vents. It's just my personal taste, but I don't even really like louvres. I just don't like that look.

I like one and three.

Option 1:
I do not really like that the hood rises. Imo the front of the car is impressive/aggressive enough.
I do like the location of the vents.

Option 3:
The rising of the hood is minimal compared to the original hood.
Like the option to really make use of the vents.


I think I would go with option three.

I need a new hood after my accident.

TODAY, I order from American Muscle, number 1.
It was $601 after the 6% mustangforums discount.
They have one left in stock.

FWIW, Cervini will NOT ship to an address other than the billing address.
American Muscle will.
