I'll take a pic tomorrow!
What would be the possibility of you taking a pic of the inside of yours? :/
Awesome thanks! The hood looks great btw!
Ok here it is:

Thanks for the pic! I think for now I am gonna save the money on the underhood painting but if it really bugs me I will just paint it. How was the install?
You need a hood that will extract heat from the engine compartment. A scoop (or ram air setup) is kinda pointless beyond making a fashion statement.
Yes I ordered the Cobra R hood. Unfortunately it will be 4-6 weeks before it arrives. I just wonder if I need a shop to install it or can I do it myself.
You should be able to do yourself. Might take an extra set of hands.
Does the Cervini Cobra R help with heat extraction?
Does the Cervini Cobra R help with heat extraction?
Well it does have the heat extractors so I would imagine so.
It installs easily, you just need a buddy to help you line it up.
nope, it attempts to vent to a high pressure area...
When the vehicle isn't moving, the fan would blow excess heat out the heat extractors would it not? And when the car is moving, wouldn't those heat extractors serve to bring air into the engine bay since it is a cowl hood?
I doubt it will work better than stock hood. The one linked http://www.cervinis.com/13-14mustang-cobra-r-hood.html doesn't even have the hood vents that the OEM one has. Cowl hoods probably don't extract heat any more than the stock.
Ahh don't let this guy scare you off, my experience is no increases in engine temps, even on the hottest days my iats never go above 100 degrees. The cobra r hood has more space between the engine and its inner top then the stock hood. This translates into more area for air to move while your moving. The 2 vents in the hood work well enough to handle idling on the hottest of days... Take it from someone who has had both the stock hood and the cobra r hood, you have nothing to be concerned about!
There may not be an issue in Colorado. I know sitting still today in Houston that would be a different story.
If its 102 in houston and your sitting in traffic idling you would have issues with no hood!
Yeah. 102 ambient 126 IAT without moving. 1 minute after moving down to 108. Like I said Colorado is different but to me Cobra at is not a heat extraction hood. Like the 2013 gt500 or tiger is.
To a small extent, yes. It is a very small percentage of the total amount of air movement. Very negligee. The stock 13/14 vents are placed in an area that is more advantageous while moving, but again negligible at idle.
