I bought this hood back in July and the installer FINALLY painted it and put it on.
Here are some pictures when I went to pick it up.
I am looking for opinions on whether to change my grille back to stock or not.
I am also wondering what else I should do to the front (ie chin spoiler, bumper cover), it looks like it has a HUGE nose to me and I dont like it.

The cobra badge is temporary and its coming off.

 

Man, that hood looks great and has to be one of my favorite aftermarket designs

IMO, the center fog grill just does not flow well with that hood. I would take it back to stock and see how she looks.

 

looks great. for the grille, my vote is for bullitt or CDC roush style grille


btw, you're name is a lil misleading =P that's a bit more than ram air

 

Love that hood and definitely agree on trying out a new grille.

 

I agree about the grille, may look good w/ a plain billet grille w/o the fogs.

As for the large nose, you need a front splitter or air dam to balance it out. Maybe the CDC model.

 

I'd lose the grill (Bullit style would look killer!), black out the yellow turn signal lenses, or replace with clear (black-out would be cleaner) and add an aggressive chin spoiler. Chrome plastic trim around the grill lip (door edge guard) on the stock grill w/fogs would add a nice touch. Center fogs look way off with that hood.

 

Here's the grill you need. Its the Carriage Works grill.

 

I have the same hood. I've tried to billet grill and it scratches the front fascia. So I installed my stock grill back. with the addition of blacking out my foglights.

 

Here's the spoiler:

Help a bit on deciding go back stock grill?

 

Looks killer!

Like was already said: I'd either go back to a stock grill or get a chin spoiler to help balance it out.

 

I put the stock grille back on and it looks 100x's better. I've been wanting to black out the turn signals but just haven't gotten around to it.
I might wait til spring to get the chin spoiler but I like the looks of the CDC.
Thanks for all the advice.

 

Are you thining about selling the grille that you took out?
If so, I would be interested.

 

Pm me...btw you joined on my bday

 

Happy belated Birthday.

Well it looks like I have to wait for Christmas on the grille. Apparently I am getting some stuff for the car that I didn't know about. I was just told to hold off on all mods until then.

Now I'm REALLY looking forward to Christmas.

You have a great looking car. My son and I just picked up an 06 that we will start upgrading. It will eventually become his car.

 

no problem...if its available then I will keep you in mind.

 

Can you post a pic of a side profile shot?

 

I already changed out the grille and dont have any side pictures

 

Awesome! Definitely vote for going back to stock......and I'd vote for adding a chin spoiler or splitter too.

 

Can you use the gas hood struts with this hood? Looks great BTW!
