Hey guys, I'm trying to decide between a stock stle hood or something like the Sa10 hood. I want simple, and subtle. I went through the 3" cowl, then a 2.5" Ram air and I now want to look less "out there" The paint I have planned will do that. Any ideas on where to find an Sa 10?
Here's my car as was a few weeks ago....

So far, it's got 02 front brakes(minus the brake hose), 18x9" hypercoasted FR500 fronts, rear Superior Hardened 5 lug axles, Ranger drums. I may go to disc later...
Now....

and how it was before I decided to rip her apart...

I plan to go from purple/blue to a more subtle new Charger red up front where it'll fade to black before it passes front wheelwell. :SNSign:

Here's the closest thing to a SA-10 hood that you can probably get. Steeda Fiberglass Hoods - '87-'93 Ford Mustang

...Or a Cervinis 1.5 cowl wouldn't be too bad either.

Not bad! Not as expensive as I thought Steeda would be. Thanks!

Well, the engine needed some work. It had ported iron Gt40's, gt40 manifold, TFS stage 1 cam, rockers, etc. etc. Since the motor was being pulled to freshen the block, i figured I'd change to 5 lug and redo the interior in black

simple and subtle is a heat extractor hood especially with a gt body kit. aggressive but not over the top

You could say the same thing for a cowl induction hood on a fuel injected fox.

who says that a cowl hood doesnt work on a F.I car? the low pressure area behind the cowl draws in cold air therefore cooling the motor

A true cowl induction hood design, like on a 69 Camaro is sealed so that cold air is fed to the carb. On an EFI car, it may help with keeping the engine compartment temps a little cooler, but is not a true "cowl induction".
