Does this hood: 2007-2009 SVT MUSTANG HOOD (M-16612-C)

Fit the front fascia of a 2007 GT/CS?

I can't seem to find any information on if it does or not.

I don't think it will work it says it wont fit the stock gt fascia you have to have the svt fascia

and there in lies the rub ... I don't have the stock fascia, I have a GT/CS, it's different. It's the same fascia as the Shelby (non-GT500 Shelby) ... so I haven't the slightest clue if the hood meets up with the frontend of my car.

as far as hood fitment is concerned the gt/cs fascia is the same as the stock GT..

It'll fit but it will rub the bumper pillars next to the headlights, and theres a gap between the grill and hood.
IMO get it only if you plan on going to the cobra front bumper eventually as well

CS bumper is the same as the GT at the top, so if one doesn't fit right the other won't either. But i've seen people with the GT500 hood on the GT bumper and their doesn't seem to be a problem with the fit.

Edit Madmoose beat me to it.

Thanks for the pics and explanation! The pics help the most. I'm not sure I care about the gap - your car looks really nice - and I definitely don't care about the 'rubbing.'

Does your hood shake?

And are the vents real or facade? (can't seem to find that out either.)

I can get a hood, wife says go for it, probably red stripes too ... but, it'll be a cold day before I get the whole frontend swapped to match the hood.

MadMoose

the vents are real and the hood doesnt shake, although the fastest i've been with it so far is about 90mph

Find a different fiberglass hood anyway. Unless you have plenty of money, you can get a fiberglass hood bought and painted for about the same price as just that hood without paint

Can I ask you how you installed that hood?
What modifications you've made to the bumper, etc.

I bought the hood, thinking it'll fit but it won't latch correctly, I've asked around and people say that the walls next to the headlights are keeping it from closing completely and I can't seem to find a way around it.
