I have been searching for years. I think I might wait a little longer and see what the new 2011 GT and GT500 wheels will be though.
Good idea. Bullitts are still thr best though.

I personally think chrome would look best, but what do I know?

I really believe 20's will be fine on this car. I mean lets face it, its a BIG car.



Now I'm worried the cowl hood will interfere with the hood pins. I wouldn't mind losing the hood pins honestly, but they are functional. I had a lot of hood flutter before I installed them.

What's everyone's honest opinion on the fuel door and rear emblem. I'm not diggin the two tone anymore. I think I'd like to go all black. I could sell these or keep them if I change my mind.

I love the two-tone. It's subtle, but the contrast looks awesome.

The pins may not fit, but that may not be an issue with that hood depending on how the rear of it is vented. I had the hood flutter bad on my CS when passing trucks on the freeway, but no problem on the Shelby with the hood pins. If the rear of that cowl hood is open, I don't think it will be a problem. I'm convinced that the reason the hood flutter is so bad on the CS is the fact that the rear of the hood is sealed with nowhere for the air to escape, and the much larger opening in the front CS fascia lets more air flow into the engine bay with nowhere to go. Just a theory.

I've heard of people removing the seal at the back of the stock hood and solving the problem.

I was hoping this Cowl hood would act as a heat extractor too. I have yet to see a pic of the back of the hood.

My hood is vented in the back, but I still have some problems with it at "higher" speeds. I don't want hood pins though. They wouldn't look right on the notch.

Driving next monday should be fun:

The weekend is still looking like a mess for travelers from Wisconsin, through Minnesota, and into the Dakotas. Rain, freezing rain, and sleet should be the main problem on Saturday, with all of this changing to snow on Sunday and Monday. It still looks like enough of the moisture will fall in the form of rain here in eastern Minnesota to limit the snowfall amounts, while the western and northern parts of the state will receive mostly snow, which could make for some heavy accumulations there. The track of the storm is still uncertain so please continue to check in for the latest forecast as we get closer to the weekend.
Not to mention tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. Stupid drivers.

I still like this hood better, but the stripes won't fit. I can't imagine my car without the black stripes.

May just be the reflection, but in that pic it doesn't look like they are open, look more like indentions from the molding process. Maybe you have to cut them out if you want it open?

being perfectly honest, I like the rear medallion more than the fuel door...I'd probably go with a solid (or black chrome) fuel door...the silver breaks up the cleanliness of the profile...the rear medallion looks good, because it's centered, and in the middle of the taillights, so it doesnt look out of place

i hate days like that...I try to schedule all of my classes back to back
like, MWF, I have Intermediate accounting from 930-1020, film studies (BS class) from 1030-1120, and human resources management from 1130-1220...then I go to work from 1230-530...and on mondays leave at 5 so I can go get a little dinner before my 6-9 class

the hood pins would be close with that hood....and we'd have to figure out something for the stripes...you're right, 7 would feel naked without her stripes
