I am going to get a new hood. Why, because I was stupid . Anyway, what can you guys recommend. I am thinking heat extractor style, ram air, or cowl. Who really makes the best hood for about $500? I was thinking Cervini's, Harwood, Steeda, or Boss. Can't seem to find anything about Boss though.

^ agreed. Cervins makes some good stuff. Only problem is that they are so high quality, that they weigh about what the stocker does.

Stock weighs 45#s
My unknown brand 00 cobra R hood weighs 23#s. I would try and go light.

I tell you what could look sick is a 98 cobra hood like said . Throw some nice wheels on and put it in the weeds..that combo will look SOO awsome!

I figured I was the only one wanting to put a cobra hood on my GT It's a pretty aggressive looking hood and I like it

I personally lean toward a shaker hood, but for your '96, I think the 96-98 cobra hoods are kind of kewl.

96-98 cobra bumper and hood would look excellent. Just make sure you retain all your GT badges so people know you aren't trying to pose.

This is from a member on this site. Black 98 cobras look soo . BEST colour for them IMO. This is what your car would look like with 98 cobra hood and front bumper

Very true and that would be why I would hesitate to do it.

Can you post some pics pre-install and paint and let me know how the fit and finish is? I know Cervivis has a good reputation.
