Halo_819 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hi Amy, I really like the site and I am looking forward to adding different Shelby options to my Mustang. Right now I am interested in the hood and I have a few questions. 1. Is it functional? Do the heat extractors actually work? 2. What is it made out of? Fiberglass, aluminum or carbon fiber? 3. Are the holes for the hood pins pre drilled? 4. Will my stock hood latching system work with it? 5. Are the hoods in stock or do I have to wait for it to be made? 6. How is the fit? Is there going to be a lot of work involved in fitting it or is it pretty much a bolt on application? That is all for now. The best part about this hood so far is that my wife really likes it too! So it is as good as already bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there going to be a lot of work involved in fitting it or is it pretty much a bolt on application? 1. Not a true cowl induction hood. Appearance only, no functionality. 2. Made of fiberglass with steel inlays at the front latch and the rear hinge mounts. 3. Holes are not predrilled. Some people may not want the hood pins. 4. Your stock latching configuration will work fine with this hood. 5. Not in stock. We're estimating shipping to begin in June. 6. Completely bolt-on. The fit is very nice as-is. I hope this clears up your questions and concerns. If not, let me know. Thank you. -Rich Sparkman Shelby Automobiles, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
