2010-12 GT500 Hood on GT

I've tried searching and searching and searching and I can't find anything conclusive....

Will a GT500 hood for the 2010+ Mustangs fit on a GT with no modifications?

Anyone?

Thanks!

Absolutely not. Totally different nose.

Did not know it wouldn't fit. I thought of adding to mine. Then decided against it. Glad I now know this!!

I'm going to guess that you're saying this based purely on how it looks? If so, I am going to tentatively disagree with you.

Supposedly the 2009 models can swap the hoods and it works well there (I think something like a quarter inch overhang or something). And the 2009 models have differing noses as well.

If you were speaking from experience and not pictures, I apologize...however if not I'm hoping to hear from someone who can actually speak from some level of experience.

You need a gt500 bumper then the hood will fit.

thanks I thought I remembered reading that somewhere but I couldn't find it.
The thing I can't figure out is the why? why's the bumper required? overhang on the sides?

Because where the billet is. The bumper completely shows on top of where the billet is. Just look at a pic you'll see what I mean.

On the 2010+ the GT500 hood closes behind the grille surround, not over it like the 2009. But there is a front bumper on EBay for $99 + $50 for shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...SS%3AUS%3A1123
Just need to paint it and get the grills and fog lights
