I got lucky they had my exact red. My friend went with me and he did not do it because he has a white 06 gt and didnt want to look "silly" haha i would just paint the hood white but either way i reccomend you do it if you want a new look.

The hood fits very well, a bit longer then stock but looks more aggressive in my opinion and the vents are better for the car. It also a higher cowl look to it. Amyways i will put up pics later on today! U can find his add on clist.

Hope this is helpful for any of you trying to go for a different look. And no, you dont need to convert the whole front to make it fit or look clean. Thanks!
Ive seen that listing on craigslist for over a month. I did the exact same thing...passed thinking it was a scam.

Glad to hear it was legit and now you have a sick hood. Looks aggressive! My stang is black otherwise Id probably be all over it now. Who nows maybe i'll call anyways. Posting says they have hundreds.

I drove 200 miles hoping it wasn't a scam. Then I spent 200 miles happy as heck that it wasn't. Gave me and my girl(the car not the wife) a little bonding time!
