Probably not going to get free shipping on a hood. There are several Mustang parts suppliers within driving distance if you have a way to carry one.

Year One's shipping is $115 residential for one item by truck in Georgia. I think they are based in Georgia, cause in their Mustang catalog I got, Georgia is the cheapest state for shipping

Are you referring to the tabs that hold the backing plate in place for the hood screws? If you are, simply drill a couple of small 1/4" holes and weld the back plate back in place? I noticed my plates were coming loose when I was sanding down my hood, and welding them in place... so far. so good. Why spend the money if you don't have to..
