That's not the Trufiber version...that's the Shelby SS hood. Price with vents is something like $1200 I believe. Trufiber's version is called "Venom" and is closer to the GT500KR hood, although it's a bit bulkier and the vents are bigger. Going price is about $800-$900

BUT:

You can't run any of these hoods without a GT500 bumper conversion. Otherwise the hood will not close, as the pillars next to the headlights on the stock V6/GT bumpers will interfere with the hood closing. Conversion prices start at about $1500, and go as high as $2500....not counting paint.

Here is a link to pics of the Venom hood. You can also look for Mellowyellow's car. He has the prototype Venom hood already painted and installed.

I am all over the "venom" hood once there is a release for the normal GT front end!

I like the truefiber better than the SS...
The split is more pronounced and the bulge bulkier.
YELLOWMELLOW has it spot on now.
