[QUOTE="Willie, post: 15980527, member: 14133"] I have this hood: [URL='https://trufiber.com/shop/2007-2009-mustang-gt500-fiberglass-hood-2/#prettyPhoto']Ford Mustang GT500 Fiberglass Ram Air hood[/URL] Fit like a glove and no prepping needed. Just sanding for primer / paint. It's been two years now and still looks like new. I then took it to Arizona Pro Fiberglass in Tucson and based on my design, they modified the rectangular "outlet" to match my custom one-off air filter shroud so that it is sealed when the hood is closed. FYI, when the 2007 supersnake was introduced, it's hood "outlet" was completely open and it caused surging at speed. After hearing numerous complaints, Shelby Automotive designed a "plate" with three circular holes cut in it to restrict the airflow, hoping to reduce / eliminate the surging. I know all this for a fact. The rest, I'm not positive, but I think it still caused complaints so Shelby completely sealed the intake and made it non-functional. If there are any SS owners here, I'd like to know if this is true. Be that as it may, I decided to incorporate an aluminum "ring" around my custom hood opening so that I could bolt on my own plexiglass restrictor plates. My first attempt does not cause any surging whatsoever, so I've not experimented with larger openings in my plates. Maybe someday I will...! I also installed twist lock hood "pins".
