On S197 forums I guy is selling the a gt500 hood for $700 painted tungsten at ford. I figured it would match my car.

They have to prep and paint the hood, then have to paint the fenders to make sure everything matches. Like I said earlier though, go for it if you have the cash. I would have really liked to have another hood, but I just couldn't spend the extra to have it done.

I voted cowl. Looks like a close race though.

Make sure it fits a GT because a true GT500 hood will not fit your car.

That would be a big reason to not get a cowl hood, in my opinion, because I absolutely hated the way Fox body mustangs looked...

I vote GT500KR hood. Its subtle but still awesome.
