Seen this hood before?

[CobraKalas]

I know its kind of a no name website but I was curious if anyone had seen this 99-04 00 01 02 03 Ford Mustang GT300 Style Fiberglass Hood Octane Motorsports. its kind of a nice cheaper alternative to a Saleen hood or Tiger-racing, even the 03/04 hood

post your thoughts,

1st Look for someone who has purchased that hood.

And check the fitment before buying any aftermarket product.

I have seen some aftermarket hoods, that dont line up and make the mustang stand out.

Not in a good way :read:

Good luck

I have not seen it.. I can't for the life of me figure out why:xpl:

I think it will look good. Be a test dummy for the rest of us and buy it.

 

[Gallows]

Definitely different. Who is getting one first?

 

[Bizarro]

I can't decide if I like it or not.....

just seems a bit too much :shrug:

if ya dont like the hood, ok i understand they also have listed a saleen style hood for $239 wondering if anyone had a GTP or C-wings hood... doubt it though cause i'd assume they mostly sell import body kits.

Someone on v6 power has one like that. It looks pretty cool with his saleen bumper. [ame=http://www.v6power.net/vb/showthread.php?t=41966]New hood and Windstar Intake - V6Power Messageboard[/ame]

oh cool, thanks for the link, it doesnt look bad at all IMO dont know if its got enough clearance though. as the OP of that link stated he had to notch some of the vent to make an aftermarket v6 intake fit...

 

[v6mustang164]

He has a windstar intake manifold and they normally have to be notched a little unless you run a cowl hood.

Looks very functional to me. It has the vent locations in pretty good spots and would work well for a mass produced heat extractor hood. I am curious about the weight though... I don't see it anywhere on their site.

I won't switch to an aftermarket hood (from my 03 hood for road course use) unless it is significantly lighter than the stock pieces and provides cooling. Which pretty much leaves me with a Tiger Racing unit.

anyone know how much the stock 99 hood weighs?

I liked it until i saw it on the green v6,,,, i think it doesnt look like it fits well. I think it would look better on a black car,,,,, I dont know though.

Wow....nice hood. I checked the website and the store is 30 minutes up the road for me, so no shipping charges :banana:

I called the shop and was told this hood fits the cobra, no problems. They also sell the TruFiber (recommended) and duraflex 2000 R hoods cheapest I've ever seen!!! I didn't even know this place existed. Guess I'm getting a new hood, just don't know which one.

Thanks for posting this! :beer:

no prob, i found like 2 or 3 other sites that have the same exact website setup and sell the same products (none of their own, only other manufacturers) but all prices were different???
