Time to ditch the phony plastic hood scoop in favor of some functional hood louvers.
I looked at the Tiger racing hoods, which are awesome no doubt, but the carbon fiber one is quite pricey and the fiberglass one still being a fair chunk of change.

Add to that the price of freight (ships via truck) plus paint and it was just more than I was willing to spend on a hood.
So I visited Track Spec Motorsports and picked up these spiffy hood louvers for about $350.00.

Installation was straight forward with finishing the extra large pizza I ordered being the hardest part of the project.
The parts came well packaged and are of high quality. Fit and finish were very nice and a semi gloss black power coat tops it off.
Instructions were complete with templates and measurements making this install a real "Why didn't I do this sooner" kind of moment.
I'm pretty excited about it and wanted to share this alternative with my fellow Mustangers who may be in a similar situation.

And with that, here are the pics:













Carbon fiber hood w/shipping - $2000
Custom Paint w/stripes - $1000.00
Getting similar results for 350 bucks....Priceless!

Wow, that looks really good. And I thought I was brave cutting just one hole. Now I want those! Damn you

Although mine only cost 60 bucks so I really shouldn't complain.

Yeah, I actually bought these months ago but was worried about cutting my hood too.
Let me tell you, it was super easy. Just tape the template to the hood and cut along the lines with an abrasive wheel and there it is. Total piece of cake. I should have done this months ago.

There's actually going to be more updates so I'll have to wait to change the sig pic until everything is completed.
