Finally, after a year and half of ownership, I broke down and bought some "show." Put on the GT500 spoiler, and had Hardcore Mustangs paint and install the Saleen alum hood. The paint is cobalt blue over pace car blue--dark at some angles, light with metallic flakes at others. Already getting a lot of looks! Thanks Ernie and gang at Hardcore Mustangs in San Diego! Couldn't be happier...Hardcore really took their time with the post paint work, and it shows. Thanks!

Very nice! I really like the paint. I wish I had the extra funds for a new hood. I like the Saleen and the Cervini concept hood too.

 

Congrats, that's really one nice hood.

 

IMO the Saleen hood is the nicest out there. wtg

 

Nice and different looking

 

Very Very nice!!!
How much was it, I thought they were still all fiberglass!

 

I love that hood and the unique style of the two, nice job on making the car "stand out".

 

Wow! That hood (and paint job) is NICE!!!



Questions:

• How much?
• Will this work with MRT hood struts?

 

yeah the hood will work with the MRT hood stuts. Think "stock aluminum" hood (which honestly is supert light and awesome). It is a bit spendy. From Saleen you are looking at 1500; I paid 1100 just for the hood. YES it is more than say getting a fiberglass hood, but it is a ton lighter, and when you close the hood, is sounds and feels stock, which is what I am going for....and it mates my blower perfectly!

 

Gorgeous! If I hadn't gotten my hood free, I was going to get the Saleen hood. That color is awesome too!

 

may I ask where you are stationed @.... nice hood to bad in black is kinda BLAH....

 

im stationed at navy medical center san diego

 

Nice!!

 

If you ever get a chance, I'd love to see some pics from under the hood. Mainly how the heat extractors vent out, and what provisions are in place for water (rain, car washes, etc.) drainage.

 

looks great, i really want one.
