That is by far the best looking Roush front end I have seen.
Beautiful car.

Voted gt500 myself. The roush by itself just seems kinda "clunky" up front without the rest of the components.

To me this hood doesn't flow properly with the rest of the front end. Should have got the one made for the GT500.

I would have gotten the venom hood if I didn't have this hood long before the front end swap. Doesn't bother me much and you're actually the first person to ever say that.

Sorry if my comment came off a bit, well d baggy. Not saying it looks bad. I just think it would look better with the GT500 specific hood. It's still something I didn't completely notice at first glace. Hey you still have one evil looking ride.

GT500 hands down, but then you have to look at the cost factor and all the parts required to do a proper GT500 front swap!

Thanks man. I know what you meant bud. I agree with you too about it and have actually thought about selling this hood and buying the venom hood or cowl hood a few times.

Mickey your car is amazing. OP for the cost, its simple to me, get the Roush and spend the extra $1k on gofast or something else.
