RE: Stock hood sucks!
Cobra R hood is the best I think.. Thats what Cervinis calls it, but steeda makes it and its there standard hood. That Steeda race car is HOT $HIT!!
My other choice is the mach 1 hood with the shaker scoop if your going to keep it naturally asperated. Heres a company that sells the shaker intake and the stock mach 1 hood. Not like that other company that uses the stock gt hood and puts a stupid panel over it. Which makes the hood looks so ugly.

RE: Stock hood sucks!
IM pretty sure seat belts are covered up to 60k miles or mabye even 100k. There are other warrenties that still apply after the 36k warrenty.. Keep that in mind. and check it out.
i have a 99 and since i got it last fall, ive noticed the **** belt not working too well.. thought it was just me....

ya, its a big ole chip, about 12inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide (here all the remarks come,lol). the sad part is, i was washing the car at home, with a garden hose,no high pressure nozzle or anything right out of the big ole round opening,lol. POOF there goes the paint, i was pissed had the car for about 2 days. Ford said yer past 36k miles, so, your problem. i was like, thats fuggin jacked up, oh well gives me an excuse to pick up a fiber glass '03 cobra hood(or CF if they make one). yup found out about the seat belts im at 60k miles so im a$$ed out on that deal too. 70 bucks each for new ones,so gonna have to wait a little while for them, just a little while tho,lmao.

I also hate the fact that water always sits in the stupid scoops.......I use the towel stuffing technique LOL, but who the hell wants to stuff a towel in there everytime you wash it?
It's the guys with the dark colored cars like me who really notice. The silver and white don't show the marks like the black and blues.
