there are no openings on this hood for the windshield washer fluid nozzles. those of you with this hood or similar hoods, did u drill holes in the hood for the nozzles? i dont use the washer fluid, so i am thinking of leaving it unconnected.

This one is IDENTICAL to the GT500 version, and it will fit the GT fascia. I've seen it in person and its really a great looking hood.

Look here for the ebay link

Congrats brother. Here is what your future holds.

BTW, Dont drill holes for the washer. Give me a day to find my thread for the washer install. Everything got displaced when they redid the forum. I also have a few guys looking for your twist pins.

I think someone else reported that even though it "fits" the GT front fascia the it was sloppy and the way the nose was molded didnt seem to latch very well because of the hump that is added

The closest the the venom hood is the GTS-3 from trufiber and not the GT-S as listed above.

The GTS-3 is the one i currently have.

I can't get over that mustang of yours. I love it. I may have to go a similar route to yours, only mine will be red.

Nice car

mellow, do u have a pic of the inside of your hood, interested to see how u mounted the twist style hood pins.

I really like the twist hood pins better cause i hate the lanyard. but was worried they wouldnt fit flush against the hood.

+1 on paint, mellow your car is so clean man one of the best gt500 conversions I've seen if not the best. I to am curious as to the difficulty in the flush mount pins as I have been contemplating converting mine over because I to hate the lanyards they rubbed the clear coat off in several spots on my hood
