Pics of TRCF's GT500 #67 and #68 hoods

Heres the pics I promised of The Race Car Factory’s new functional Shelby GT500 Ram Air #67 and #68 Hoods. I’ll have additional pics of the #67 after I complete the GT500 front end Conversion on my 05 GT and instal it.

I agree, the 68 looks fantastic! Any idea how much it costs?

The hoods are designed for the GT500, I'm doing a GT500 front end conversion on my 05 GT and then using the #67 on my car.

I have a Paxton Novi 1200 and want the Ram Air and heat extractors, it gets in the 90's here during the Summer.

Both styles of hood go for $850 and are worth every penny because of the superb build quality, functionality and very minimal prep needed before paint.

Call us at TRCF and ask for Jeff, I'll answer any questions you may have.

Wow - they need to offer a standard GT (non-Shelby) version of those hoods...

I called - looks like a standard GT hood is in the works...

The #67 hood for the S195 non GT500 Mustangs will be available to be ordered in 2 to 3 weeks, they will NOT have the heat extractors and be about $100.00 less ($749.99)

The #68 hood for the S195 Mustangs will be available soon, after we decide what style of heat extractors to use, price will be determined on production costs of the extractors.

We have also designed a closed induction system that ducts the incoming air from our hood into the OEM airbox using the stock airbox inlet, thus pressurizing the airbox.

They look good. I'm still undecided, but if I knew I could sell my Stock Shelby hood to off set the cost I'd be very interested.

With so many GT and V6 owners doing the GT500 conversion there may end up being a market for your hood.

The #68 for the GT will take longer as we are engineering louvers for the heat extractors, its a possilbility we will make a few #68 for the GT with the current extractors, I'll keep you posted.
