They don't. Look in the center of the hood up front where it meets the grill. There is somewhat of a gap there due to differences in design. Still, it's not THAT bad of a gap and a lot of people do it. Cool hood and usually found easily due to Super Snake upgrades.

Great looking car too.

so this finally puts to rest whether a gt500 hood will fit a stock gt bumper...Wish I knew that 3 months ago...asked the question here and someone said you had to bend/cut/modify the bumper, which I will not ever/never do...OP, nice mods for sure...keep us posted on the V8 swap

You don't have to cut anything but the hood hits the bumper pillars.
To rectify that, you have to loosen said pillars and move/modify their bracket enough to clear.
