Roush hoods are generally accepted and a favourite among all Mustang owners. I was thinking of one till I went against it. It's sleek, slender, and narrower than most other hoods. It speaks agressive without being too overbearing.
Some guy in Texas can get you one for $89 and paint for $75. Retail is ~$150. PM me and I'll try and find his info.

Just make your front more agressive by adding an aggressive chin spoiler, which isn't that expensive and then go with whatever hood you please. If your gonna get a hood get one that you think looks the coolest weather your car is stock or not, you will probably want to change the front bumper anyways. Then if you didn't get the hood you wanted when you were stock, you would have wasted your money on a hood that looked ok with your stock bumper, and then when you get your new bumper you will wonder why you didn't get the hood you really wanted in the first place. Trust me been there done that. You have to think of the big picture when making purchases, I would have saved a ton of money if I would have!!!

And 07 Stang, the Boy Racer hood you liked is $799 + shipping + paint and labor and everything. Kinda pricey, but aftermarket always is. You can see it (and a bunch of other hoods) at:

There was a TSB for bubbling paint on the hoods... get the dealership to paint it for free!

My car is 2005 with 48K on it, and it has this. I was told that the car came with a 5 year unlimited mile corrosion warranty (true, yes or no?), so would this be covered under that??? If it is, Ford is getting a call tomorrow
