Default The boss look

I have been thinking about the boss 429 look. I think it is the 429. I need some opinions. The rear window louvre. Are they hard to see out of? The boss hood scoop. Would stripes go over it? If I got stripes added which i want to someday. Maybe white or silver. I wanted to know how they would go with the hood? And finally. Am I the only one that loves the fact that we can make our cars into a total boss mustang? No I am not. I mean. Surely a complete retro boss mustang would turn heads right?

Scrming said the rear window louvers are even with your field of view, so they look like lines out the rear view window. He says no visability issues. I would get the rear window louvers, combine those we some wide hood stripes and paint your spoiler black. I almost went with these hood stripes:

Did the original Boss come with or without a hood? I like the rear window louvres but the hood I am not sure about. Stripes NEED to be there though

was looking at a book I have. The 1970 Mach 1 and the boss 302 both have rear window louvres so I am wrong about the 429. Wow what two hot cars though! Would be so neato if I could make my car into a retro one.

The original had a hood scoop, and some had the black out hood. Here is a good link on it:

Scrmings is right on, I definitely dig the MRT scoop.

Any body shop, though install isn't that difficult.

Thats a good idea v6stanggoddess. Damn, i was so sure on what i wanted my stang to look like but now that i've seen that i realize that it wouldn't be that hard to get my stang to look like a boss. GRRRRRRR[:@]!!!!!!! But i wish you luck on your Boss retro replica look.
