are you joking?

 

I hope so. :dots:

 

Don't think I'd go quite that far, but here is what I did do to the wheels with Sonic Blue!

 

i have a similar hood and i got it from www.cervinis.com if that helps anybody

 

got pics??????/

 

Maybe something like this:

 

 

looks good. are your vent's non functional as well?
Did that mesh come with the hood?

 

i really don't fully grasp the concept of functional so you're going to have to explain that to me haha. air goes through the holes. and the mesh came with the hood. i've been thinking about doing it to my side scoops too and maybe my grill. i'm not so sure about the grill though.

 

Functional = holes actually cut in the openings. How is that mesh held in the holes????
Do you know you're cowl rise? is it 2.5" or 3"?
How much was cost of install for you?

that site has excellent quality/priced mesh grilles for scoops, main, and lower grille. I had all of them at one point, loved them.

 

I have the same hood. The vents just circulate air, there is no ram air set up. They have higher rising hoods but these are like 1.5.

 

So there's not actually holes cut through where you can see through.

This is the one I want to get.

 

yes, there is. Two nice size slots with a small mesh grill to cover them. Rain has never been a problem. And when you wash the car just dont point the hose towards the vents.

 

The rise in the hood is barely noticeable from the side.

 

so you do have slots then. Are they 1"? The hood I want is 3" cowl. I really like the rise that this sonic blue stang has of 2.5", so I think I'll go with the 3"

 

then yes it's functional, the rise isn't very much at all, and i don't know how much it costs to install, i had it put on when i wrecked it :wallbash:

i do like the rise on the sonic blue ones too, i wish mine was more noticable from the sides and such.

 

I like your hood since it's functional, but agree that it needs to be a little taller, so you can see it from the side. At least it's what you wanted, which is so much better than the stock hoods!

 

Dont worry guys, in a couple of months I'll have the rise AND functional scoops

 

I'm actually working with a friend of mine on a way to make mine functional by remote. That way I could open and close them when I want. If I can get this to work, it will be assume

 

ok, i will admit that will be cool. but weird, lmao

you trying to make your car into a show car? by what you've done and things it sounds like it.

 

It will be different for a Mustang. I know that old Mopars with air grabber hoods were manual opening. I just thought it would be an interesting twist to the hood. I just like having a different look than others. I wouldn't say my Mustang is a show car so to speak, but I do like taking it to them. It was my daily driver for 3 years, but got a new job and have to travel a ways to work. So, I got a beater to put the miles and stone chips to. I still drive it in the evenings and on weekends. She's no traler queen!!

 

Thats exactly what I plan on doing to mine in 2 years. Have it be a weekend fun cruiser car. I'll get a new nice custom paint job, but yea.

I'm trying to do something different too this summer. Yea, everyone's got chrome saleen rims and saleen kits, but mine will be a little different :shifty:

 

To me, that is what it is all about, making the car yours. I don't want to look like all the rest. I want the car to stand out as unique and not just another Mustang with a body kit and chrome wheels. It looks like we both have the same idea

 

bingo. I still love that sonic blue, my old one was sonic, and my neighbor directly across the street has a sonic blue GT with 03/04 17" Cobra chrome rims. Everything else stock. It's awesome seeing my car on the left and his on the right when coming down the street,

 

A woman I just met the other week is totaly head over heels about Mustangs and has a GT of her own. She has a 99 Electric Green GT and looks to be in good shape and is totaly stock. She asked if I'd help her modify her's. It doesn't hurt that she's really hot! Being the gentalman that I am, I volunteered to help her out. Since she's single, I'm working the Mustang angle. She says she wants to go cruising once the weather gets better. Come on warm weather!!

 

thats awesome man! It's amazing how a nice car can help with the ladies. Didnt hurt when I picked up my gurl! lol. But damn if shes not realizing how much time I put into it now, lol.

 

Man can I relate to that

 

that is one sweet upgrade/ride. that blue in the grill must look bad a$$ at night.... *looking in rear view mirror* it says: "get outta the way bat outta hell coming through!"
