peter301 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Do you, or anyone know, if this will fit a 08SGTSC? (Whipple 550HP Set Up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Saleen215 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 It's made for a GT500 nose. Not sure it would line up right on an GT/SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwestercamp Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I don't this it would quite look right but it should bolt up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svttim Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Wont look right, made for a 500 and its nose but will probably fit. Look for a no sale unless it goes for several thousand dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Do you, or anyone know, if this will fit a 08SGTSC? (Whipple 550HP Set Up) From past threads, no. They fit the GT500 nose with the "mouth" sides and don't line up right with a standard Mustang grille. But I've seen front facia's for a GT500 on e-bay plenty of times so it CAN be done.

cobra567 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 In addition to the cost of the hood you need to be prepared for additional costs: Hood Locking mechanism and locking plates to mount on the radiator support (you need to cut 1.25" hole in radiator support where center rubber stops are stock) If you have hood struts you will need to replace with the lower pressure version Install adjustable hood stops to mount on outboard radiator support next to fender paint hood body color replace vinyl stripes or paint stripes If you have a radiator cover you have to cut holes for the hood locks to lock to radiator support and repaint radiator cover As you can see lots of costs beyond the hood it self.

I'm not sure about #3...I didn't do this on my GT500 for this hood. The 2 inner bumpers and 2 twist-locks and receivers were all that I used.

peter301 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I was pretty sure that I needed to paint it and all, but was just asking since I already have the TruFiber SS hood. This wa one the car when I bought it, and I am looking to add an original Shelby one back on the car. I just want to keep the SS look, since it has been SC'ed with the Whipple 550hp option. Before anyone ask, no it was not done thru SAI or Tasca, but through a local Ford Dealership in VA, but still would want the car to be as original as possible with original Shelby parts & options.

The hood shown in the pic is not a SS style hood but appears to be a KR style hood. Couldn't the hood be secured without the hood pins, using the stock GT500 latches? I believe that to install an "official" SS hood, you would need to replace the front fascia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Saleen215 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 To further muddy the waters...the TruFiber hood in the pic IS a KR style hood. I ran one on my previous GT500. They make one with and one without the hood lock holes. The issue is that the hoodpins that are installed in the pic are NOT in TruFiber's mold...someone did their own mod to make them fit. So...the real KR hood has the hood locks and receivers towards the outer edge of the hood. If I was to take a guess...it looks someone mounted the hoodpin's where the inner/middle hood stops/bumpers were. Here's a my TruFiber hood and my KR hood: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard m.switzer Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm willing to bet that the reserve is over $2500.00 ,, you just can't get this hood anywhere ,, unless you have a real GT500 KR Shelby Mustang . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbypt Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Just some minor scratches, lol. They don't look minor to me! Your going to have to prep this hood quite a bit and then paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89Saleen215 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 The $4k I was referring to was via ebay and other Mustang forums NOT Shelby. Well yours does not match up with what they did on the production KRs. So you made me go look...and yep, sure enough there's an added hood stop. I've never noticed it before and no I didn't do it on my car and everything is fine, so I wonder about it's necessity. Here's the stop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the stop: Not sure if its necessary, but all you have to do is put a nutsert into the available holes already in the front of the fender lip and screw in a hood bumper from a fox body. Easy to do if you have the nutsert installer. I ended up spending moe than I wanted to replicate the KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
