Oh bother.
Will, no one is saying you can't have an opinion, san is simply debunking your "rice" comment. It's functional, it serves a purpose, it's not rice.
Thank goodness someone sees the light.

I'm not upset in the slightest. I think it's really funny how I don't like your hood and you take it personal. It's the ugliest peice of **** hood you could have bought IMO. It looks like a bubble with vents... who only god knows will actually be vented to "release" warm air that your tiny v8 produces.
WillDuhhBeast said:I never once said that in certain situations you don't need your rotors cooled, but 95% of the people with the 00R front bumper get it for show, that is hilarious.
WillDuhhBeast said:"On your almost stock gt, you do not need to cool the rotors, thats a total ricer comment bro. Seriously.."
WillDuhhBeast said:The city could save money and just use those who have bought this product from ford to plow the snow.
WillDuhhBeast said:I think it's an ugly hood, and you bring up my brothers car. Interesting. I think it's classified as rice under your terms from that thread you closed... what was it you said..? I think it was "a tasteless mod with no function"..
Your hood is a ricer hood then. Releasing air is not a "function". If that were the case, carbon fiber wiper blades reduce grams of weight, they arent ricer.. so on and so on.
WillDuhhBeast said:I hope you love your hood, I just hope I never have to see a GT riding around here with one.
I know what functional means, and as far as I'm concerned, releasing heat from your engine bay on a car not built for racing is RICE.

Wrong again.A cobra r hood on a stock engine GT is rice, by YOUR definition, not mine.
Thats all I ever meant. You defined rice, I didnt. I happen to like show quality cars with lambo doors.
And wear their hats sideways and drool over import chicks they'll never have. Right, thanks for helping us avoiding it. Cheers.By the way, don't attend any nationally popular car shows, such a nopi.. you'll just walk around and wonder why people waste their money on "rice"
And WE'VE never seen such a whiney kid who enjoys posting negative opinions so much.As far as this forum goes, my "observation" is that it's full of narrowminded rednecks, who believe if your mustang doesnt have deep dish bullits or cowl hoods, it's not respectable. I've never seen a community with such a locked in set of ways than the mustang guys I read about on here. Again, it's just my "observation".
Sounds like you got a great deal on the hood and shipping.Ya, H.O. has a good rep amongst the Mustang community it seems.
Coincidently, their shipping was only $120.00 to Hawaii via a UPS subsidiary. Can you believe that?
$369.00 for the hood
$120.00 for shipping
$489.00 total
The cheapest hood I found was Mrbodykit.com, at $319.00 on sale, but they wanted $350.00 to ship it Their quality was unknown too, and they were semi-insistant on using hoodpins. My "mental red flag" went up when I heard that.
Cervinis was a close second at $469.00 or so, but they wanted like $300.00 to ship it here. They would have been my second choice as their quality has a good rep also.
All the rest were "genuine" 00R hoods, with an average price of about $469.00 (Summit and Jegs, to name a few). Summit wanted $350.00 to ship it here, and the sales guy seemed to want to rush me on the phone and basically provided poor service. Jegs wouldn't even ship the hood here. Needless to say, neither one got my business.
GEF didn't even respond to my emails. They got the boot too.
So, H.O. got my business and I'll post up the finished results some time next month.
Sounds like you got a great deal on the hood and shipping.
Cervini's would have probably been my second choice too..
Are you kidding?What are those ricer vents for if they arent going to be of any function?
Tasteless IMO
Are you kidding?
The hood San purchased is far from rice.
Than your stock hood is rice too right?
Get real Will.
Post some pics of your hood after it is painted I am eager
to see it on your car San.
