What do you think of the 03 cobra hood?

I love the '03 hood. The Cobra R hood is very cool too. I wouldn't do the swap though. Too "wannabe" for me. I'm going to swap my spoiler for the s281 spoiler (w/o side pieces) and that is on the edge of being a poser IMO.
love the hood. wish that ford would have done the "hood mod" from the factory, is the only thing.
Are you getting the carbon fiber one from SHM?
I like the stock hood.
make sure you paint it!!!!!!!
Well, I didn't want to give it away until I got it on the car but, I have had the 03 CF hood in my garage for about 3 months now. It looks AMAZING. One problem though, right as I was about to put it on the car I noticed a crack on the side!!! :bash: And since its CF its not fixable. So I have been going through a bunch of crap to get another one shipped out. The insurance company had to talk to every single person that handled the hood, find out if it was reported as damaged, bla bla bla. I have had to make numerous calls to make sure things keep moving. Because the insurance/shipping company could care less when I get another hood so they are just taking their sweet time. After a month and a half I finally got word that the insurance place will cut a check for the hood and as soon as that check gets delivered I was told they will have a another hood shipped out ASAP. I can't wait to show you guys, its the best looking hood I have ever seen.
I am hoping that with my Recaro seats, rear seat delete, spare tire and jack out, light ccw rims, and the CF hood I can loose a decent amount of weight.
Why is that? I was going to leave it unpainted. I think it would look great on a black car.
I'm surprised you can push in the clutch then.:-D
I think its the best looking hood ever put on a stock mustang... Cobra R included. The Cobra R's hood looks good relative to its down force fascia and rear spoiler, but I just couldnt picture anything looking any better than the stock 03 Cobra's hood on the 03 Cobra.
As far as the weight goes... Its supposed to be made out of "composit material". How much does our hood weigh in comparison to the Mustang GT?
As far as you guys having trouble lifting your hood... Its time to step away from your Cobra, put down the keys, and take all that money you planned on using to mod your car with and invest in a membership at your local health club.

[devils advocate] Don't like the look or the fact that it leaks. For 35K you'd think they could design a functional one that does not leak.[/devils advocate]
The stock 03 Cobra hood is awesome, unique and aggressive. Leak?? Are you talking about a little water on the inside hood insulation, big deal, comes with having a functional hood. For you guys that think the hood is too heavy to lift, gimme a ****ing break. Maybe you should get one of those Ricer Carbon Fiber Hoods! "Let's see what else we can complain about".
CF = Carbon Fiber.
