We aren't talking about stock hoods here. Yeah Rob I was referring to you. We need some photoshoppers in here pronto.

TRCF HP Model #67 Hood
Heres a picture of the model #67 hood, its less aggressive.
The picture of the #67 hood is in primer and won't be released to the public for another couple weeks.
It is constructed the same as the #68, two piece composite construction with a channel inbetween the layers that ducts cool fresh air from the front scoops and then dumps the cool charge over top the airbox/CAI, it also has heat extractors in the rear.
Both hoods have show quality finishes on the outer and inner panels, TRCF hoods need very little prep before paint, plus the scoops are functional.
For more info go here.

We just had a meeting on that very topic, currently we also sell the GT500 front fascia, grills, headlamps and so on to clone a GT500 for the Musatng GT and V6 car owners that want to use our hoods.
So first things first, these hoods have only been on the market for two weeks.

William, if you like that route...I have a GT-H/CS6 Hood I am selling, brand new, was on the car for 15 minutes for fitting.
It doesn't line up with the headlight posts as it is meant for a GT fascia but it pretty good with the GT 500 front. If you haven't seen it on one here is Louie's coversion with it.

I am very interested in the GT-H/CS6 hood. Call or email me your price and phone number.
Thanks

Sounds good. How hard would it be to make either hood without the extractors? Also can we get an underside shot of the hoods.

2 reasons you can't omit the heat extractors.
1.The hood would quiver from under hood pressures at high speeds.
2. Under hood temps would increase, defeating the cool air charge from the front scoops.
Give me a couple weeks to post the hood painted on a car and I'll also post pics of the under hood.

Ok, I understand, after having talked to you the other day, how your hoods work, however, couldn't you change your design slightly to still make the hood scoops functional, but not quiver? I know that there are plenty of functional hoods that don't require pins and stuff.

The scoops are our design by choice to offer the GT500 owner an air ram, cool charge effect thats an advantage to anyone using a CAI or or bigger Supercharger, it also helps the stock airbox since the area that its located is blocked by the bigger tires and inner fender, our hood feeds that space from over head.
If your asking us to redesign the hoods, not going to happen anytime soon, the hoods have only been released for 3 weeks and the reactions have been very good to this point, it was at SEMA and people really liked it.
