Default New Hood

That's it! I can't take it any more i'm making a decision this week on what hood i'm going to get! (but I need some in put)

Goal: get a classic looking shelby style hood on my mustang. I don't want anything cheesy (ie a blocked scoop) A hole that goes under the hood w/o putting it anywhere is just fine with me. Later i'll get a whipple under there anyhow so no need for ducting air from one place to the other.

The hoods:

RKSport 2005 Mustang GTR Ram Air Hood - $661.15 (Ship: +$160)

The Legend - $525.00 (Ship: +$160???)
Is this a functional hood? They never emailed me back!

Also if you know of a cheeper/better place to get either hood, please let me know.

Or should i just go all out http://www.cervinis.com/NewFiles/05MUSTANG.html $3,660
(not really an option but it kinda would be cool! & hood is only $459)

While that hood is damn cool looking. It's not "beefy" enough. I kinda want to add about 10% more "beef" to the '05.

Also i'm putting stripes on it and i'm not sure that hood would look good w/the stripes.

You have a really good point there.


Maybe I will....

You think those scoops by the door are good too?

The "Legend" body kit takes it's styling cues from the original Shelby's from the 60's.
That's exactly what i'm going for.

best looking hood I've seen by far is fangperformance.com's shaker setup- saw the car for real it all ford swap meet in columbus a while back, the pics on the website dont do it justice(they REALLY need to get some high res/multi angle pics on there...). I didnt particularly care for their rear spoiler- think the wing looks better, but man is that hood/scoop package pretty. looks just like a 69- I really think when ford eventually updates the 05/06 model the hood should look more like this one, and have an optional shaker available(then a high quality set of slats and a 69-ish adjustable wing with modified pedestals to fit OEM holes in the trunk lid...oh yeah)
