yea i would but im only 19 and not enough experiencedd to cut a whole in my hood lol....if a body shop does it, even better, i was just curious about which other hoods i could use if i wanted to

CDC sells the Foose hood, which Pascal has... And Cervini's sells thier B-series hoods which will also fit. But if you don't want to cut the hole, let the Body shop cut the hole and you do the rest so you can atleast save some money. But I wouldn't pay them more than 1 hour of labor to cut the hole, it's all it should take. Really the longest part of cutting the hole is lining up the template. But after that, the hole cutting only takes, 5 minutes.

thanks i hear ya....yeah it shouldnt be to expensive for 1 hour of lab i hope, its the same guy who saw my stripe decals recently and said that they wont last and recommended i'd have them painted but i dont know about that yet....but im definitely getting the shaker.....thanks

About your stripes, yes, vinyl will start to mess up, when, who knows, mine lasted about a year and a half, but are a metalic silver, which has been the worst... But painting them on will ALWAYS be better.

not to highjack, but a word about the vinyl stripes - not all are made the same (obviously). i had my stripes installed by a custom signage shop (they typically make vinyl signs for vans and trucks, etc.). the stripes they put on come with a five year warranty. so big bucks for painting is not the only option, albeit it is the best one if you have the dough

i have to agree on that not all the vinyl stripes are the same......everywhere i took mine to get installed....the places were trying to get me to buy their version of vinly because they said it was much more flexible and would last a longer time and that this one was too stiff and wont last too long and should just consider having them painted on if i like it......which i might do after the hood cut-out if i have money for it lol

For those who don't know...
The Foose hood doesn't come with the trim ring because of the bulge in the middle, from the 69/70 Stangs.
Since CDC provides only the one for the OEM only, you're f###d. And that's total BS.
When I ordered the whole deal, I expected a matching trim ring[:@]. They told me "you don't need any"... [&:]

I'm like what? Am I suppose to use your foreskin insteador something??

Anyway, I had to modify the regular one.
Used a dremmel and a heat gun. Also 320 grit sand paper.
