Looking for a GT500 hood, options?
I'm looking into a GT500 hood, I want the hood because of the vents, but don't want fiberglass hood.
I know that the hood has as curve in the front that makes a GT500 front fascia needed, but those that made the switch, may be there a work around on this?
I just want an alloy vented hood, and not spend a fortune.
Thanks.

Yes but, 1) is fiberglass and 2) the vents don't work.
That's why I was thinking on the GT500 one, but was looking for an option on not doing the whole fascia.

Impossible to get around the GT500 Hood/GT bumper option. Pillars next to the headlights do not slope in far enough and the hood will not close.
As far as I know there are no metal vented hoods except OEM GT500. In fact the only aftermarket metal hood is the Foose one from CDC I believe.

personally the GT500 SUPER SNAKE hood looks killer. It IS slightly different than the KR hood. I was told it's carbon fiber! with functional hood scoop and heat sink vents. Downside, $1200 unpainted...but you can pick it up by calling shelby performance parts!

Here's the hood for a GT but it's made of fiberglass.

If you're interested in the venom clone for the GT fasica, you can find it on ebay item #330205805661. This will fit the GT fasica without any alterations. It is fiberglass and around $750 unpainted. I don't think there is any way around the whole fiberglass thing. But I've seen the quality, and it is a very smooth hood. The guy's name is Mike and he's a very nice guy. Tell him Frank from Jersey recommended him. If you'd like, PM me and i'll give you his cell number.
