Default Going to a cowl hood on the 2013

New hood from Revelare Designs - finally getting it done so the car is ready for Detroit Autorama. Shop has to order a new set of vents; when he moved the shop he said that he must have left the vents at the old shop and of course the landlord there says "no nothing here" because he is ticked off that they moved out.

Anyway, here are some pictures

I decided to stay with the current graphics on the hood and just have a similar thing painted on the new hood, using the vents to replace the "Powered by Ford" decals.

Love it, especially the striping.

May consider doing something similar if the budget opens up. What was the out the door price for all this?

Thanks everyone. I'm not sure what the retail price is delivered. Revelare Design is local to me and this is one of their first hoods released to the public. I saw it at a show at MRT last year and asked them about it then and worked out a deal with them

I'm picking it up today! Since there isn't any snow in the forecast I'll let my son drive the Mariner back home and drive the Mustang on in to the office for the day. Since it will have to be detailed again before Autorama anyway.

Originally we were going to paint the vents black, but the vendor sent a pair in carbon fiber. Since the carbon fiber matched up so well with the wheels Carl decided to leave them carbon fiber as an accent and tie in.

This is the only picture I have from the driver seat. It is going to take some getting used to the hood. It is only about 2" but it does change the view.
