I guess it's kind of new still. I was wondering how it looked on a Mustang.

I think it looks like a dog's breakfast, but I'll hold out on seeing a painted, fit, and finished piece before passing judgement.

That just looks like waaaaay too much going on.

I prefer the stock hood...or a small cowl. These hoods with all these scoops and stuff are a quick way to turn a clean car ugly

Don't like it. I saw a pic somewhere of it on a red painted fox and it was butt ugly. I used to have a 2.5" stormin Norman hood and I thought it was too much. Went with a lower 1.5" Mach 1. Not too much going on...

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I've got a 351w(to stroke) sitting on a stand and thinking of not using it now because it won't fit under my stock hood.

Looks like it will really jack up the lines of a Fox.

Now don't go making false excuses just so you can run a big dumb hood like that. There are plenty of 351W's under stock hoods

I'm not sure that's the same hood...it looks like it has more of a point sticking out between the scoop sections.

With the stock style efi intake? I know it can be done with a carb, but i'd like to keep my stock style i.e. cobra, gt-40 etc, intake, not a super vic with an elbow and a t.b....show me one and how to do it. I've got dropped motor mounts, but from what I've read it's not enough. I wouldn't mind a small cowl hood, But I much prefer stock, and there's no way in hell the paint (flake)on my car will ever be matched. You'd just have to stand next to it to see what I'm talking about...
