yeah i was just looking at that i like it, that silver goes good with your blue. I got the hood off my friends 01gt that has no engine for 300. It looks like a cobra r but i have no idea who makes it, he forgets and i dont see any markings. I dont really care it fits good and came out nice after paint so w.e. haha

Yeah the HO ones are really considered the 95 cobra r. I think that company made the original 95 cobra r's for ford. I am pretty sure on the net I have read that somewhere...but if not they make a pretty good damn hood I might say! I know Cervini's mark their hoods underneath with there name on it but who knows...you got a sexy looking hood and that's all that matters :~)

Cool...yeah I'm usually not one for trying something different but at least I can have something on my stang that you don't see on your every run of the mill stang especially with cowl hoods.

You can wash it immediately. DON'T wax, seal or glaze it for 30 days in summer, a little longer when it's colder. It's probably a solvent based paint (since waterborne is still very rare) that'll need to air cure for a bit until the solvents are all out of the paint. It'll be dry to the touch and you won't have to worry about water/soap/rain/snow etc.
EDIT: OH and handwash is always best if you don't normally do that.
