I have the GT500 front bumper and I like the stock hood but I want something a little more aggressive. What do you guys think? Not sure if I want a GT500 hood but Im seriously considering it. Thought about doing the Saleen. Also the Eleanor BUT I think I may want a "heat extractor" type hood. Not so much a Cowl hood fan either. The SS or KR hood may look pretty sweet all white.

Anyone have pictures of their favorite hoods? Or should I keep the stocker?

I just ordered that hood last week! Good taste :thumb:


Did you get it from Trufiber? Ya I like it a lot because it's basically a cowl hood with some design. The basic cowl hood IMO only matches an older muscle car at best.

Very +1


No. too ricey


Also jsut a FYI Trufibers quality is shady at best. Some require minimal prepwork some require extensive prep work and some just plain dont fit or are slightly warped. My buddy went through 3 of their hoods before giving up and going with a saleen aluminum
