This just gets better every time. This is THE ONE. Can't wait to place an order. Proper painting and finish work on this is going to look top notch on the car. When do you expect to have these in production and shipping. Not an exact date but just an idea of what to expect would be great.

It looks like I'll be standing in line too. It also looks like the Ram Air is functional. Will that be a standard or is that an option?

OUCH!!!!!!!!! I just called my paint and body guy and asked what it was going to cost to paint it tungsten and stripe it with silver stripes and he quoted me $900-$1100 depending on fit and finish. He only charged me $600 for the alum. stock Shelby hood.

Phil, are these hoods going to be primered and what kind of feedback have you gotten from paint and body guys who have installed your previous hoods. Thanks.

At this time, we don’t have a time frame when this hood will go into production. We are still working to perfect the hood. We do not have the pricing for his hood yet.
For those who waited, thank you for your patient. Please PM me if you have any question.
I wonder who Created the Gt-500 Fascia RetroFit Frenzy??? LOL! That Guy Should Get the First Hood to Evaluate on his GT-500! Just a Thought!

Oh hurt me, just hurt me. I was trying to get a kitchen pass for the GTS-2 hood until I saw this hood. No way I'll get a kitchen pass for the GT-500 conversion and this hood.

I'm just hoping the rear of the GTS-2 hood looks as good as this one.

From what we were told early on(few weeks ago) was the back and hood bassically was the same as the GTS hood just smoother. So I guess that means straigh edged back. Shame, this hood has the perfect rear.

Are the heat extractors different than the GTS-2? I'm not sure I like the slight edge border around the extractors, as opposed to the smooth finish on the GTS-2. What value is there to the extractors being "removable"? Possible to make this a smooth finish like the GTS-2?

Sorry to be picky... but I'm not made of money and want my stang perfect !!

sorry, that came out a little negative. I'm really excited about this hood and love the work you have put in. It looks incredible and I can't wait to see more pics and truly hope it falls within my price range.

That’s it I'm in!

Looks to me like you guys took everyone’s input and made it work, from the louvers to the radius on the back side of the hood.
