Hoods
 

Just trying to get some ideas on some hoods for my 04 GT. What does everyone here think about the BW3 hood. I know its a black widow design but its a pretty bad ass looking hood. Its between that or the Cobra R hood. Any suggestions

I think the mlack widow hood is ugly. Get the Cobra R

Personally i like the cobra r hood or some cowl hood(steeda has a nice one)

Mt should offer hoods :D

03 cobra hoods are nice too.

judging by the bodykits...no :laughing5

The cobra R is a very nice hood. Im thinking about the saleen kit to

try to get polyurethane if you are shooting for the body kit...fiberglass has a tendency to break and can be difficult to fix while the polyurethane would bend and possibly just scratch

Thats about the best two,Mr.Bodykit.com has a real nice carbon fiber cowl hood.

Here's a pic of my Steeda cowl hood ..... good quality hood according to my body shop guy :laughing5

i wish i could see my car with that hood...badass

If a company offered a fiberglass cowl pre-painted in my car coler id buy it :icon_thum but i dont want to have to deal with painting etc..

why would you want fiberglass?

Less weight......just about every aftermarket hood you can buy for the mustang is fiberglass.

Anotehr thing...what do you guys think of carbon fiber hoods on a stang (like mine) I was thinking about the cowl induction carbon fiber hood. Its only 90 bucks more than the fiberglass...and you dont have to get it painted or anything

personally i like carbon fiber. it looks real good and is easy to work with cuz u dont gotta paint it.

Yeah I was kind of thinking along those lines. I want some more opinions tho to be sure

You dont need to paint them but you can :)

v6 hood with the middle section painted black. i love this hood. so streamline

Im a 2000 cobra R hood lover for life. Just the best hood out there in my opinion. But the 03 cobra is close second.

I really like the cobra hood and the steeda q400 hood.

There are very few Mustang hoods out there that I like. I think some of the company's get carried away and they are starting to look to "RICER". I love my hood and its just a factory GT hood with the hood scoop kept black instead of painting to match the silver. Looks really hot rod-ish to me. Other than that big cowls look good.

tHE reason I dont like the GT hood...its got the retarted non functional hood scoop that just creates drag..like the side scoops

Another thing to consider is a small performance gain from an aftermarket hood. The Steeda cowl I have weighs 24# less than the OEM 01 GT hood......also the cooling effect is obvious :walk:



Jay

how much was it for it to get painted?

Paint was $250.....primed , sanded , three coats of Performance Red, two coats of clearcote w/ flex agent added, mounted and aligned. You can get it painted cheaper but you kinda get what you pay for :happy11:


Jay

got any pics?

ive never seen the steeda q400 hood. where can i see a pic of it?

Yep, first page of this thread..post # 10 :happy11:
