I think your crazy. 05 mustang has in my opinion, one of, if not THE nicest looking mustangs on the board.
I know I considered a carbon fiber hood....only for its durability. Had I gotten one, I would have painted it immediately. As far as I'm concerned, driving around with a hood that is finished in CF just looks too rice for me. Some may like it, and thats fine. Had 05 done it, personally I dont think his car would look even half as good. Not to mention we all have our own tastes. Obviously he didnt feel the need or want for a CF one. I dont either.

Haha...you guys kill me!! At least you already have the new front end and hoods installed and painted and the like (and all look kickass). :P
I've had the front end for over a month now uninstalled and am going on the road this Thursday or Friday to finally pick up my TruFiber hood from a guy selling it (the cool news is it is the newest version...the one with the hood pin mounts built in already. I guess I'd call it Version 3). Even then, I have to wait to do all the modding till winter when the car is parked!! The freaking suspense is driving me CRAZY!!!
Hopefully it will get here sooner that it seems like.....
OH, btw...can any of you with this hood and hood pins take some pics showing how you placed the hood pin bottom part (the part where the metal sticks up and the hood goes on top of and sticks through)? I am not sure as of yet what I need to do to install these (I still need to order the shelby ones too), so if alot of the mystery is solved when I get the parts from then, thats cool too. Thanks for any help you all can offer.
