Custom hood for the new 2010 shelby

[Q8_Shelby]

Hi guys, these are the pics of my latest project. A fully custom cowl hood 2.5 for the 2010 gt500 that I am working on right now.
What do you think of it? Looking forward to hear your opinions.
these are the pics, enjoy

Installed pics:

Just to get an idea of how hot it gets here in Kuwait. 52°C is 126°F

Looks cool, would look cooler if you could have still incorporated a similar heat extractor to stock at the front of the hood into the cowl.

Gonna be one nasty snake. When do you expect to be done? Are you producing others for sale?

Looks Good Bro. Big crusher would fit under there just right.

I think it needs some vents.

On my Vette, the vents are further up near the windshield
not the best pics, but, you get the idea

its called a cawl hood !! it already has a vent near the windshield, so no
need for the heat extractors... plus don't forget that I live in Kuwait and its too dusty here.

If you want one we can arrange that, but going to have to figure out how to ship it.

I respect your taste, but I don't like vents on my hood.

Actually it's called Cowl Induction, but thats OK, the fwd heat extractor was more for looks, in keeping with the original hood design, see those extractors are one of the sweetest features on the styling of the car, and if you get rid of them, it kinda just generics up the car a little IMHO. Without something, your hood looks just like every other Cowl Induction hood guys have thrown on their Mustangs or Camaros for years. Just too plain and basic thats all. :beer:

I kind of agree about vents, but looking at your hood, I don't know where you would put them. It looks killer either way. I can't wait to see it painted and striped.

Thanks bro.

That looks awesome, I wish the back end of the car looked closer to the 05-09 cars, that front end is wicked and that cowl just screams wicked!! Keep up the awesome work!

 

[Q8_Shelby]

Thanks guys.

i'm not a cowl hood guy at all(it gets old when every other custom 'stang has one), but that looks really good!
you should absolutely think about some sort of venting though, the S197 cars are NOTORIOUS for their underhood air pressure. in their very first race at daytona in the grand-am cup/koni challenge/continental tire challenge series one of the multimatic mustangs lost its hood on the front straight at ~130 MPH. most of the mile guys have reported hood lift on the GT500 too. a vent at the cowl won't vent much air either, due to the high pressure area at the base of the hood.

Looks like your a big fan of cowl hoods. Which shop are you getting it done at?
