Can't wait to see pics!

No doubt it'll look good. Are you planning on finishing it off with atleast a '99 Cobra front bumper?

i was gonna get that hood wiht a roush s3 front but... i went with teh 03 stuff its a nice hood fits great with the roush front.

I haven't decided whether or not I'll change out the front bumper.I'm going to have a supercharger installed soon.Just kinda doing things as I can afford them.The worthwhile improvements aren't cheap.

def gotta get some pix up when you get it on

Here's an update:
The body shop called,asked if I could stop down.They were concerned about fitment.I went down and checked it out.Looks sweet,just a little stubborn to get the latch to close-takes a little effort.Its all good,I told em' go ahead and paint it.The seam is perfect around the fenders.I'll check out the latch myself, but I think its fine.Hell,thats why I bought the hood made by Ford,I wanted a good fit.Anyway,Thursday or Friday and she'll be back on the road.I think I'm gonna like the new look!

Consider hood pins. Just a warning.

lowflyn · 01-19-2005, 11:54 AM

Insulation isn't required....alot of ppl actually pull the insulation off the hood...

WhiteStang99 · 01-19-2005, 01:45 PM

insulation = weight. Nah, it doesn't need it.

Bane- · 01-19-2005, 01:55 PM

it doesnt do alot of anything, i think it tries to deaden the sound to but who cares, when i got my new hood installed I never bothered to put the insulation on it, no problems

Kiljosh · 01-19-2005, 11:43 PM

Never insulated mine, but you gotta admit, the stuff is ugly.

Ghostbuster · 01-21-2005, 10:20 AM

Got my ride back yesterday eve.Woooo!!Totally sweet.I'll try to get some pics up soon.My car is covered with snow at the moment.Damn winter.....
The shop did a great job.I'm glad I took it to a pro.

WhiteStang99 · 01-21-2005, 10:47 AM
