I'm not sure, It's definitely different. I kind of like it, but part of me wants to say its too ricey.

If you like it get it. I think it's a little over the top though

It's definitely an 05+ hood. Almost identical to the GT500KR stocker. I don't think it would look right on a 99-04 either, a little too extravagant for our body style.

I would liek to see one on the car. It may not be as bad as you would think. I don't like the gill lookin things towards the back.

Oh yeah I'm not planning on buying it, just wanted to see if I wasn't alone in thinking it was decent. I agree about the 05+

It would look like **** on a new edge. S197's can pull it off though.

I wish they had a picture of it on an edge, I love dual ram air (thanks to growing up around oldsmobiles). But I have to say I'm not sure how it would look... I like the Mach II hood (even though I know it's not functional)

That's a badass lookin hood. I like it. Yeah it's a little over the top but who cares... it still looks good.

I've called already, that hood will likely be just the ticket for really tall combos like mine's about to be. If it's a 2.5" lift it'll work. Otherwise, back to looking.

I think the rear "gills" are the best part about it. If it were that alone for a 99-04 it wouldn't look too bad. The giant catfish mouth vents on the front remind me of julia roberts in pretty woman....a large mouthed prostitute. My car is classy, she's not a **** haha.

The ram air vents in front is what I like. I always liked the big ram air hoods on the trans am. R3dn3ck if you get it we want pics. I want to see this hood on a new edge before I make up my mind.

Wow, glad I could potentially be helping people out with getting a new hood. I didn't really think many would like it that much. If one of you DOES get this, definitely get some pics up.

Still not much help, but it's all I could find. I want to see one painted on the damn car.

Perfectly executed comment that I completely agree with.

I would first drop the car and get new wheels.

Not the same hood, but pretty close. I think the one in the original link would look way better than this one.

I don't think it would work out too well. Maybe if someone could find a front bumper cover to go along with it, then maybe.

I think it's too high, its hard to get a ram air to look good on not as boxy (only word i could think of) cars.

Randomly came across this on another Mustang forum, what are the odds?


I think it looks DAMN good.
