Santa came early last night and brought me my hood. It was cake to install with the help of a friend. What do you guys think?

 

nice! whos it made by?

 

It looks good! But I think it needs something else to complete the look (either a chin spoiler or a different front bumper, soemthing that would go a little lower). Steeda has the Carbon Fiber Chin Spoiler... I wonder how that would look.

 

The Mustang looks great

Oh I agree. I'm saving for the Cervini body kit (minus the hood and ducktail) and will probably start buying pieces for it after Christmas.

 

Looks good!

Yeah there is something missing that would help pull it together better - funny because I JUST saw a sweet Steeda on my way home form work yesterday with the Steeda cowl hood and it ocurred to me -

18 inch wheels.

With the rest of the car stock and the BIG cowl oon the front, that will help balance out the look of the car.

 

I was looking at that! Not a bad price for it at all. Will the hood struts work with it? Also do they recomend using hood pins? Take pictures of the under-side also. Thanks!

 

The hood came with holes already drilled in them to mount in the stock place. If you have aftermarket hood struts then you would have to drill holes. Yes, they recommend hood pins, but you remove the bar that goes in the latch from your stock hood in order to mount the new hood. It feels completely secure and looked fine on my drive to work today, which included speeds of 100+

 

I only ran into one problem with the install. There are holes in the hood for the windshield washer fluid nozzles to go into (which I was told were not there when I called) and they are too small for the nozzles that were in my stock hood. I'll have to make the holes a little bigger.

 

Thats a cool hood, I'm really feelin' it.

 

Can you take a picture from the driver's seat?

Here you go, although it looks smaller in this picture than it really is. The cowl is 3.5". I had to adjust my seat this morning so that I sit a little higher now until I get used to it. I can still see everything fine, it's just a little harder to guage how close something is when I'm within 15ft or so of it.

 

I like the cowl on the hood, just not into the carbon fiber, since it would not look good on my WV blue, but yours would look bad hiney to paint the hood like the Steeda style, leaving the middle in natural carbon, then with the Steeda Front end. When you get your new wheels please post again....

 

Yeah, I thought about that. There are perfect lines on the hood to paint it like the Steeda hood is. If I do it, it will be after I get more mods. I just ordered black GTR rims and lowering springs yesterday, so they should be here next week

The pics aren't great, but here ya go anyway.

 

That is one good looking hood

 

When you get a chance could you take some pictures of the under side of the hood. Possibly one full and one running down the edge so I can see the side rails to see if the hood lifts would mount correctly.
Thanks!!

 

Sure, I'll take some when I get home tonight.

 

I agree

 

Also, out of curiousity...

How tall is that induction screen in the rear?

3.5"
