When you come back, be sure it's for another Mustang, Palmateer.

I just checked out the 15 EcoBoost and it is amazing!

I say stick with Japmobiles then.

So you're replacing a hood because the paint bubbles?!?!
Smart move here Champ.

Any good local body shop would have treated the corrosion and repainted your original hood for much less than $800. lol

If the hood paint is a problem then every Mustang will have this issue? I didn't see any on my 2008.

Not every Mustangs but quite a few sadly.
It also applies to any other Ford models that have an aluminum hood.
Ford better start to prep their car a little better especially with the ALL aluminum 2015 F150 if not it's gonna be a nightmare.

I *just* noticed this about 5 days ago on my 2010. About a 3/4" long spot just started on the passenger side leading edge of the hood.

The car just hit 7000 miles, and is garage kept.

This stupid car is crumbling and I hardly even drive it. Between the faulty AC blend doors that started to go out after the 3 year bumper-to-bumper warranty expired, the clunky front end suspension, now this, I'm not too happy.

Grrrr.........

I just read about this the other day.

I agree, I see a whole bunch of strange new issues that will arise out of this. Do old school body guys even know how to work on aluminum body cars? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm seriously curious if an average Joe body man is going to be able to work on these.

Old school guys are familiar with aluminum as a lot of Euro classic cars used that material years ago.
A reputable restoration shop can tackle anything...
