New Carbon fiber hood/mirror covers
Here are a few pics of my new Carbon fiber hood and mirror covers from Trufiber/Trucarbon.
I said I was not going to do any appearance mods, but you know how it goes![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
this is the SH GT hood in Carbon fiber

Install for the hood is pretty easy. 4 hood bolts, and unclip the two washer nozzle hoses. (May require two people to hold the hood up).

Thanks guys this is really quite a departure from my normal plane Jane look that I allways go with.I could not believe how light this hood was.
I was able tp pick it up with one hand and the fit was perfect.It is a direct replacement for the stocker and uses the factory hardware and latch so install was a breeze.
the mirror covers are fit over the stock ones so they have 3M tape and went on in seconds with a perfect fit also.

Just guessing I would say the CF hood is a good 10lbs lighter then stock
I may do a little more with the rear like a CF trunk or blackout panel not sure yet.

Metal mesh needs to be painted black asap.
Looks good. If you do the truck- IMO you have to do the roof as well.![Icon Mrgreen](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
ASD used to have one listed. (same company that makes the panels for the RTR) not sure if they still have it listed...

This whole idea is so out of character for me you have no idea lol
I've never done more then wheels as far as looks on any of my Mustangs because I'm more of a go then show type of guy.

The covers fit over the stock ones so they were not removed.I've seen pictures of the removal of the stock covers and you have to becareful and not break any of the tabs.
