Default Cobra R hood and Rear wing Delete

I'm thinking about putting a Cobra R hood on my 2003 Mustang GT. I have also deleted the rear wing. Does any one have any pictures of this? I was wondering how it would look before I did it. Thanks.

It'll look awesome man. I took the wing off my car and I like the look. But with a cowl hood it would really set the car off.

when you take the wing off is there a delete kit or something? or do you simply remove it and fill the holes with plugs or something? i want to remove my spoiler as well.

When you take the wing off you're going to need some work done to it and a re-paint to get the hole marks off.

when you take the wing off, you need to have the holes filled and the trunk repainted. If the car is older and the paint has faded at all, the shop will also have to blend the pannels that touch the trunk lid so it doesn't look off. Filling the holes does NOT consist of filling them with news paper or other crap and then covering it with body filler(yeah I have actualy corrected body work that was done this way). It also does not mean loading the hole with body filler. The trunks on Mustangs are fiberglass, so it would mean the body shop needs to fill the holes with fiberglass matt/resin and then sand down and use filler ONLY to fill very small pits and valleys. Filler should NEVER be used for more than just skimming over to level out very low imperfections.
People will say things like "i have filled holes with filler and it has lasted for years" 1. they are lying through their teeth because they are too embarrassed to say "i did it the wrong way and it looks like garbage now" or 2. they have some very rare luck. IT IS THE WRONG WAY period.

The 2000 hood. As far as the delete. I found some plastic panel bolts and used them to fill the holes. I doenst look factory but it looks better than it did with the rear wing on it. I sealed it with silicone so it wont leak.
