Thanks for the post!
I wish the hood would line up better with the headlight "verticals" -- though I do like the flat hoods much better than the GT500's hood.
Looks great.
BTW, Ken Gushi's new drift car sports the GT500 front.

I like how the GT500 hood curves, I wouldnt buy an aftermarket hood unless it retained that stock curve. Perhaps on my black vehicle I wouldnt mind the stock hood much, we will see soon enough

I like the GT-H hood better than the stock Shelby hood, but I agree about the vents.

Okay, a couple of details about the car...
Yes, that is a mahogany steering wheel, custom made back in October when the car was scheduled to go to SEMA for Ingalls Engineering. It does not have the silver dots on the rim, and the company won't do another wheel.
The hood ( genuine Shelby GT-H ) is very flexible, which made us very concerned about underhood pressure, so we installed the vents to make the hood functional, we have since installed hood pins as well. This car will be at the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup in Steamboat Springs, CO this weekend.
I would like to thank Kevin and his CB-GCAT (crystal ball-GCAT ) parts system, and for all his help in this conversion! I also thank all of you for your comments, and constructive critisizm. The vents aren't asthetically pleasing, but they are there for a reason, and do add the Shelby look, like it or not.

I have a couple of question regarding the GT500 conversion.
Do you need to buy new headlights or will the Saleen HID lights work fine?
Is it possible to use the Tri-Bar pony instead of the Cobra on the grille?
Do you have and shots of the back or did you not convert that yet?
Thanks!
