Yea, that gt500 front end conversion will cost you a couple k. The GT/CS conversion is a good one as well as the Roush front, and there are plenty of different bumpers out there but most of them IMO are a bitricey. I've got the GT/CS front end conversion and a 2.5" cowl hood from Cervini's.

Well I am biased but I think Cervinis makes the best kit for our cars by far. Here is some pic whoring for you.

That link that Alec posted is for 05-09 Mustangs.
They do have billet overlays for the GT500 bumper, but the Bullitt grille will not fit on the GT500 bumper. If you want the bullitt grille then you should probably get the GT/CS bumper.

The KR hood will fit on the GT500 fascia.
But I don't think you can get the KR hood from Shelby, I think you have to get it from an aftermarket source. I'm not entirely sure though.

GT/CS Front Fascia and Roush Nine Bar Grille. Plain and simple. All Ford and Roush parts. the grille like you want and a mean front fascia. Any hood will look sick on it.. It's just personal preference. Check out www.AmericanMuscle.com they have a lot of different hoods. As well as sites like MRBodyKit.com, CruizinConcepts.com. There all kinds of places just look around. Google can become your best friend.

From what I understand they really don't do a whole lot but I don't have much experience with those types of hoods. From what I understand they basically increase the flow of air into the Air Intake by funneling it to the air filter. Heat extractor hoods do just what they say, allow heat from under the hood to flow out to keep the engine cool. Ram air hoods may also cool the engine but I'm not real sure.
