Not gonna change the hood. I don't wanna waste the money... I am trying to keep it as simple as possible. I need to hang on to this car for a few more years and get my use out of it. However I want a completely dressed look until then. Later I will see how I feel about the 2015 Mustang which will have all new styling & the latest goodies worth having.

Three more options... I probably would not do the shaker because that is a whole expensive kit but I would do a regular OEM CS/GT style scoop painted black...

U-Stripe with a scoop.

Mach 1 stripe with a scoop.

Over the top stripes.

I just modded this picture to make the hood look flatter like the 05-09.

You will have to poll interested TMS'ers each morning then choose your stripes based on our collective mood

Mach style with scoop.

I like the mach style with scoop pictured, but did something different with it.

Dudes I got the U-stripe, put it on and it just did not work for me after looking at it viewing from several different angles for a few days... It's just very underwhelming in person. It's a shame too because it was very easy to lay down on the hood myself with no drama.

I really need to use a full black stripe. I am still going to go ahead with a black hood scoop and decide another stripe style to use with it.

I finally got my black OEM hood scoop (not a shaker). I installed it today and I will take real pictures tomorrow. I really like it. For me the view from the driver's seat is outrageous! I think I still want to accent it with a stripe.

I had voted on the U stripe for the hood but I like the last stripe with the hood scoop. I was thinking of getting one of the square scoop stripes from graphic express myself.

I have this hood stripe on the way! It should look really good with my black hood scoop which I am lovin' so much! I adjusted this picture so the car looks white and this reinforced my decision to go with this style.

Blacking those pillars out would never look right to me...
