ITHERTZ66 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 holy shiznit. Nice price for a hard to find part. Funny how the vinyl stripes are more $$ than the hood itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter301 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Does anyone know if this hood will fit with a Whipple 550 package installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHELBYCS6 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Does anyone know if this hood will fit with a Whipple 550 package installed? I would say no as it even rubs on the Paxton and I couldn't even use my strut tower brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTH391 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 The shipping was more than the hood as well! I wonder if this is a "clearing out of old stock" or if it is back in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Does anyone know if this hood will fit with a Whipple 550 package installed? Mine fits with some little rubbing on the intake tube (there is a fix for that) and had to notch out an area for the pulley.

2007_Shelby_GT Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ordered! Guess it will fit fine with my E-Force and V-6 strut brace! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Our techs here claim it clears the 550. I'd recommend a trial fit before final prep. If it needs a "notch", it's easy to do then. Jer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearing out stock. If I scheduled a production run of these hoods and sold them for $199, I'd be selling oranges on a highway offramp the next day.

See this: http://shelbygth.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/under-the-hood/ I also have to say that SAI did notch the GT-H hood for the whipple install on the GT-H that they have done. No rubbing on my Paxton and the strut brace was not an issue. Edited June 22, 2013 by H0050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39Mustang Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 http://www.shelbystore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CS6-001 I wish I had a hood like this on my 08 GT/SC has these cars put off a lot of underhood heat but I really like the 65 GT350 hood scoop. Think its possible to mount the hood scoop on this CS6 hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you could modify this hood to make the vents functional. hmmmmmm....... Maybe I need a second hood....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From five feet way you would not even know the difference and the average person will not. Really helps with the trapped heat issue. I would say non existent and no issues with Paxton rubbing etc. I am happy I bought the deep draw. That said, the GT-H hood price is killer.

2007_Shelby_GT Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 WooHoo! Hood arrived today! The box was a mess and I was concerned that the hood would be too, but it appears to be OK. (Note to Jer and SPP: You need to beef up the packing, particularly the corners, the styrofoam corners were split and this allowed one corner of the hood to penetrate the box and be exposed. I would suggest a cardboard spacer to soften the corner of the hood and keep it from cutting into the styrofoam, and a wrap or two of bubble wrap around the entire hood. Might save some grief for someone!) I didn't receive the windshield washer relocate kit yet, unless it's buried somewhere in the hood box - I'll check when I get home. To anyone with a GTH or with a GT that has this Hertz hood installed: I'd like to get some good, up close pics of the hood installation to pass along to my body shop! Like to see the hinge attachment, hood pins, etc., so if you can, post them up here! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Update: Unpacked the hood and found it to be in good shape. The gel coat on the corners at the hinge ends were chipped, but can be repaired. Minor scuffing on the upper surface of the hood from rubbing on the box sides, again, easily repaired. Overall this is a very nice piece - Just looking at it, I'd say it's very well made and its dimensions are pretty close to spot on factory. Found the washer relocate kit buried in the box along with the fake grill. The grill could be made functional - either by cutting out slots and fitting a custom grill or drilling out the two-hundred or more holes in the fake grill! I'll see how long I can resist, but I'm leaving it non-functional for now! Thanks Jer and SPP! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, I would not put the SGT scoop on this hood, it would spoil the lines and yes, as you said, look silly! I would consider making the hood functional and possibly including two GT500 hood vents/outlets to increase ventilation and they fit more or less flush with the surface of the hood.

harristotle Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Man, I decided to stay stock hood, but this is seriously tempting!.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965coupe Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Are there any hoods left? And what would be an approximate price for shipping to Southern California? (I might as well just pick it up in Vegas!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pardopachiv Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 deciding whether to get one or not; stylish and irrisistible; however the shipping cost is quite a lot, considering the hood itself is only $200. really hope shelby can arrange much economical way for shipping. could cross border to pick in North Dakota from Canada, shipping to ND is about freaking $350...damn it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
