Honestly i think that the side scoops and maybe even quarter window scoops would really compliment the hood. and as far as the cs rear bumper, you can get the cs or the GT500 they are essentially the same with the diffusers, and i love that rear bumper if i ever change out the rear thats what i'm going to get.

Looks great. Was this just an upgrade or a result of a accident?

Lookin' good dude. This is one of two hoods on my shortlist if I ever decide to go that route. Great choice with the CS front end also.

I don't typically like that hood, but it looks fantastic with the GT/CS bumper!

As much as I hate to admit it, yes--I had a little mishap . It happened 3 months ago--back in June. I had gone out with some friends (no drinking), decided to get a bite to eat after. I was at a stoplight and when I got the green light (I did not intentionally try to punch it) but I was in first gear still letting out the clutch (pretty sure I gave it a tad too much throttle) and fishtailed and lost control. As a result, I ran off the road into a construction site going like 15-20 mph and slowing down. I ran/rolled into those wired supports which took just enough body damage to have to get both the hood and front bumper replaced. The hood had a couple of dents. but yeah...that is the story. I figured instead of getting a new stock hood and bumper, I'd go with this. So in a way, it's like a bad way to get new mods lol. But I made sure everything was repaired and back to normal. I still kick myself in the *** for doing that, but I pay MUCH more respect to my pony and the power that is capable of delivering since that happened --do not underestimate your's power either btw--sh*t happens, but all I can do is learn from it and prevent something like that from happening again.

That hood ties in very nicely with the CS bumper. Nice job!
