I have seen three hoods that look like the 1967 Shelby GT 350 -

RK Sport with the function hood scoop
BBR with the Non-functional hood scoop
GEFRacing not sure if it is functional or not

Have been reading positive comments about the RK Sport
Next to nothing about the other two.

Just wondering what folks would recommend and why.

I have the RK Sport California Dream Hood. Love It !!

Excellent Quality Fit and Finish. Air scoops direct air directly on top of my C&L air intake inlet.

Perfect match, styling and function, in my opinion for the 05 Stang.

The other RK sport looks ok, but I think the GEFRacing one looks closer to the '67. Not familiar with the other one.

Im not certain, but I believe the GEF hood is made by BBR.

That's an interesting hood - kind of a cross between the BBR/RK Sport & a Saleen with the extractors on the side - or is that just a very bad picture :scratch:

I've only ever seen the louvers on a '68, not on a '67. Randy, are you sure about the whole A/C thing? I can't find anything on it.

68 had those louvers, but no 67's did, regardless of options.

right on, Randy.. thanks for the enlightenment... I was in the same boat.... I've even seen some of those pics before, and never noticed the louvers.... I guess they were so subtle in some of the angles that I never saw it.
.... now I know.
