Check E-bay and see if you can strike some deals.
BTW, $500 for a used GT500 hood isn't really a good deal, since they're available from FRPP for a little over $600. Unless you were talking about 500 Canadian...

Anyway, the GT500 hood on a GT doesn't flow at all because the pillar of the GT bumper won't match the indentations of the Cobra hood and on a light color car like yours, it will be an eye sore.
The picture provided by Shella doesn't really show it but if that hood was painted, it'd be obvious.
yea, I'm pretty close to Detroit and given a chance to work it I would. The thing is that I don't want to simply dumpster the removed parts so either way I'd have to come across the border with stuff and they'll ream me, unless I can sell the removed parts there.
The $500 hood is a brand new take off totally complete with washers, blanket etc. I didn't think 500 smokes was too bad added to prob $200 for paint.
