Aftermarket hood

[damon94]

Where can I get an aftermarket hood like the kr? Do they sell color match hoods or will i have to get someone to paint it and stripe it? I saw the 5.0 magazing with the red and black gt500 stage 6 and I love that hood.

here is a link

You can find the carbon fiber ones on ebay from time to time or different sites sell the tru-fiber Venom Hood Stage 3 Motorsports 2007-08 Mustang GT500 Tru-Fiber Venom Hood

The hood I have is the "Closest" to the KR you can get. It is sold by Truefiber. You have to order it with recesses in the front if you want to have the KR twist locks sit flush with the hood. It is pretty much an EXACT replica of the KR prototype hood they came out with a few years ago.

All hoods will come unpainted. You will have to find a shop to make sure the hood fits well/have it prepped/painted.

The first link is an very close match to the actual KR's hood at all, but it own style of hood. If you like the first hood by all means get what you like. First hood is available thru evolution Perf or Lethal. The link to Stage 3's Venom Hood is the Truefiber Hood just wo/the recessed KR twist lock holes. Make sure you get the recessed holes if you want the twist locks.

Here are the 3 styles of KR hoods:

It is a great looking hood. Only problem they have had with the Truefiber hood was quality. First batches had quality issues.

Mine is from the newer batches and it went on with no problems. I had to readjust the front bump stops a bit to make it sit right in the front. The pictures I have are from a while ago and the front hangs down about 2mm too low. I fixed this with a different size bumpstop. (Due to me removing the factory ones for the shelby hood pin kit months earlier.) Hind sight is 20/20.:shrug:

I have no experience with lethals/evolutions KR style, but I have heard nothing negative about that hood.

Get which style you like. Both look great. Also, the truefiber hoods weighs in at 14 LBS less than the Stock GT500 hood... another plus.

I know someone posted the "three KR hoods" earlier.... BUT here is a different one also... it is the one I am buying and think is MUCH better than all of the other ones because it deletes that UGLY center piece in the hood scoop (just a personal opinion!!).. I almost dont want to post it because I'm stingy and dont want anyone else to have it!!! HAHAHA!!! but whatever its all good.... ENJOY!!!

You're a little behind if you think you're gonna be one of a few to rock that hood. I've had mine for over a year.

That is a nice hood!

lol yeah i know i was just making the point that more people go with the other style. I dont know if its due to a lack of interest in the SS hood or a lack of knowledge. Either way, its all good for me and u!

Can you show us a few pictures of how you installed the receivers for the twist locks?

The problem with the Trufiber hood is that the OEM style dual stripes overlap with the top vents of the hood slightly.

The real KR hood has better clearance for the vents/stripes.

Really?

But don't get me started with the absolutely AWFUL build quality of TruFiber or thier total lack of product support.
