Mrt "reload" Package Revealed
I haven't seen any s197 hoods with the '68 GT treatment that really look right.
The '67/68 hood was much flatter, seemingly longer and maybe better suited to it.

I was contemplating the Boy Racer hood then I remember an interesting detail:

Most aftermarket hoods are not provisioned for a hood liner. If Ford went through the trouble of modifying the hood liner it was for a reason, likely to be associated with the intake of cold air and temperature relating to maximum performance of its tune which I will not disturb. I guess I'll just have to live with the stock hood.
Depends on rather you think the number of slots (12 for the '68 louver vs 5 for the SHR) is more important than having the louver actually have slots and be part of the car (flush-mounted vs stick-on)
