Anybody help me here?
Wondering if the GT-500 "power bulge" hood fits on a '05-'09 GT?

The wife likes the way they look, I was wondering if they fit with no mods.
I don't like the idea of an aftermarket hood, but maybe I'm too affected by the fiberglass junk from the 70's & 80's.

Are the GT-500 hoods steel, aluminum, glass?

Are there good after market alternatives that require only paint, not complete reworking?

Thanks in advance.

The GT500 hood would fit but it'd look horrible since the front bumpers are so different to accommodate the "buldge". I believe they are aluminum or steel. I'd only use the GT500 hood if you did a complete front end conversion.

Steeda's hoods are known for their quality. Cervinis are good quality. Both are fiberglass as far as I know. Any hood is going to need to be prepped including OEM since it's such a large "flat" surface which shows imperfections too well.
