Stock hood/Gt500 bumper

I have looked and read. What is the difference in stock hoods vs Gt500 hoods.
I have done a Gt500 bumper cover swap because I like the way it looks.
But I want to do a after market Trufiber heat extractor hood “A29” looks like a Mach 1 hood from 70’s. But they list it only for V6/Gt cars.
any help is appreciated as I need to order hood ASAP.

Am I correct in the 07-09 GT500 front bumper is the same as a 10-14 base . if so could you use a 10-14 aftermarket hood on a 07-09 GT500 bumper conversion.
Fenders look to be the same.
Bumper cover # 17D957.

I've got the hood in the picture which is now listed as A54KR, but when I put it on my car there were two hoods for the GT500. Mine has a narrower vertical piece in the center and was supposed to be like the SS hood, where as the one with the wider piece, like shown in the picture with the GT fascia, was supposed to be like the KR hood. Now they only show the one and list it as a KR? That said, it's been about 8 years since I put mine on, but if I remember correctly some guy's were using the regular GT hood with the GTG500 Fascia. As you can see in the picture the hoods are basically the same, but the curve in the hoods hit at a different spot on each fascia. On the GT500 it hits at the outside of the bar and on the GT fascia it hits at the inside of the bar. As I said, I seem to remember other guys using a GT hood and it looks like you should be able to.
