96' Cobra hood with white Pearl stripes ,$100 worth or not

[Slow5.0]

One guy who have same color like mine Stang have for sale 96' Cobra hood with white Pearl stripes and Cobra ghost on front of stripes , that guy bought some "stocker" or whatever is cool for some hood and now he try get $100 for his stock hood
There is two problems , one is pearls, because if I get this hood I have to paint white pearl stripes on mone front ,rear bumper and trink-spoiler(wing) but that pearl paint is too expensive
Second is clearance because I have plan to get 1" intake spacer for mine Cobra intake
So what you think guys
I forget to tell you guys that hood is in perfect condition

Why not just repaint the hood all red instead??? I know some people are running aftermarket intakes with either a 3/4" or 1" spacer under the stock hood, just without the liner. I say go for it... Shouldnt cost too much to paint. Maybe if you get it preped and ready for paint to be sprayed on it'll only cost a little bit?

I think you should go for it. $100 is cheap for a 96+ Cobra hood that is in "perfect" condition. Clearance should be ok because of the bulge that the cobra hood has right over the intake.

That bulge isnt that big anyway.

Im going to look at my Cobra later on today.

Ernie, I don't know if you have a Strut tower brace on your car or not but... I had to cut a notch in my cobra hood to make it shut properly (I have only a 3/8" spacer between the upper and lower, not 1"). With out the brace the hood closed properly.


100.00 for a cobra hood is a deal IMO. It took me 6 months to find the one I have. I paid 100.00 for it too.

riffraff I saw your car in last issues MM&FF , nice man
About hood and Strut tower brace , I have no strut toewr brace because I installed Cobra intake and my stock (GT) STB doesn't work any more , BUT this guy have 96-98 STB for sale $40 and its painted too in same color like mine and his Cobra
One more thing about hood , do I have to use 1996-98 Hood Latch Assembly or can I use mine , because 94-95 GT have different Hood Latch Assembly than 94-98 Cobra and 96-98 GT?????

riffraff do you have pics of your hood from insade so I can see what you cut to make it shut properly

First thing, Chuck the brace. It don't do much good going strait anyway. Second, I bought a 97 Cobra hood for my 95 Mustang and prepped it. I had some fiberglass work to be done and took it to a prmo paint shop for paint. Turned out PUrrrrrrfect. Still cost me a few dimes to get the paint nice and I even brought my own paint! The latches are the same by the way, no probs here.


Well, $100 is a deal. If anything, buy it and sell it on ebay and make $200-$250 on it.
