Well a few weeks ago I got into a Fender Bender and as we all know it's not a fun things to be apart of. I got to thinking about it and send well it's time to change it up a bit and I went with the GT500 ft. end with the Trufiber Venom hood.

I have been reading about the Trufiber hoods and liked the look a lot. So I called Trufiber and talked to
a great guy Phil. Phil was very helpful with alot of great info on the hoods.

I had a fear as I have never had a fiberglass hood before.But after hearing good things about Trufiber I jumped in and how the Venom hood. Well My paint and body shop "Rocky's" in Rancho Cucamonga said after they picked up the hood from Trufiber.The fit and finish on the the Trufiber hood is GREAT and it's very Well made.

So here are some Photos of Before as the car Started out. Then with the Trufiber hood being painted and installed.

I would like to thanks Trufiber for being so helpful and for Rockys in Rancho Cucamonga for the Great paint and body work.

Let me know what you guys think and if you need any info let me know.

 

sick! i love the small detail on the tri bar logo on the fenders. also i like how the stripes match the wheels. what do you have for the 'go fast' goodies?

 

Typically not a fan of the GT500 conversations but your car looks very good. I approve

 

nice job social. I'm glad it all worked out for you. It looks outstanding. First orange one Ive seen do the conversion.

Mind showing me how you ended up attaching your hoodpins??

It looks fabulous!

 

That hood = sex

 

Looks great. Good job. Love the GT500 conversion on the grabber o, and love the stripes. Looks like a very good painter too.

Time for the GT500 chin spoiler and maybe the rear bumper cover too.

 

Looks Great!

I think the guy who invented the conversions is on Tms. But I may be wrong.

LOL,

Kc

 

Superb well done job !! Looks awesome. Best front end ever.

 

looks really good man..Love that tribar logo you used!

 

**** that looks HOT, well done stang looks amazing, yeah Phil is a great guy and their hoods are awesome, good job and congrats on the new front end.....

 

 

very nice,

 

Lookin good man, time to attach the front spoiler...

 

Do yourself a favor and get some rain drains from Trufiber. Ask me how I know.

 

I'll ask.....what are you talking about? I've had my hood on my GT for over a year now....I have NO idea what you are talking about and tbo of all the numerous members here and on other sites, I've never heard even once something related to what your talking about. Please post info. I'm not trying to accuse you of lieing or anything, but if you have some pertant info please feel free to post it so the rest of us have this knowledge as well.

Andretti,

I'm assuming he's talking about these trays that go under the heat extractor vents to keep water off the engine bay. I didn't know Trufiber sold them. Shelby had them for sale for their hoods. I happened across them online somewhere back when I did the conversion on my 06. I can't remember where I saw them though.

 

Looks **** good. I've been wanting to do the conversion to my front. Just never got around to it.

 

Your front end is screaming for a Carbon fiber front splitter. She looks incomplete w/0 it..

 

Rob, your probably right. I'm just curious due to the lack of info. I've got the hood...you had one of them too on your old GT......add another 150 people or so who also have had or have the hood currently. The suggestion is that there is a problem due to water with the hood as I read it. Considering all those owners.....I have a hard time understanding there is some water problem due to using it. I may not leave my car sitting outside daily nor drive it in the rain if I can avoid it, but I do wash it...constantly. And I never, ever have had a problem with water that might splash in while I'm cleaning it or any that might get in due to rain. Since I've recommended the hood to numerous people I'd like to think I've never mislead anyone to potential problems.

I'd just really like to hear what the situation is/was.
