Question Should I get this hood?

So I am getting ready to get my tax return and I am getting my 2005 black V6 ready for Mustang Week... what does everyone this about this hood? I have never seen it installed on a car before other than the one in the pictures... but I like the idea of the ram air and heat extractors, and the fact that I haven't seen it before... makes it a little different... I plan to get rid of the SS Gen 1 body kit and install one of the 3 Stallion body kits, just not sure which one yet... but that gives you an idea as to what the front end will look like

The hood is ok but the front is a definite NO.

IMO, the hood reminds me of the ones on the SRT8 Charger, or atleast they look similar. I'm not really digging the hood or front end. But like others have said, its your car and you should do what you like

What color are you going to paint the hood? Your body color? Carbon fiber? Satin black?

Hood's not bad, reminds me of the Butterfly hood. The front end is a no for me. Looks like a bad Cadillac copy.

keep the front on your car now, and get a cooler hood.

The hood's OK, a little busy but a two-tone scheme might pull it off nicely.
The grille is an abortion, please don't put that on your car.
