New style Hood

[Wsho]

Browsing around looking for a new motor and I came across this new style Hood.
Pretty cool too bad it doesn't fit my car for a 2013 +.
What do you think?

Buy a vent, maybe a couple vents and cut them into your hood.

I probably could but I don't think it would look too good need the right tools I do not have that

Look at BPD1151's hood, he added those vents....looks great

First and foremost, the screenshot you've displayed, depicts the front end of any/all 2013+'s. So @ the OP, why would you think it wouldn't fit, and/or work for you?

See/refer to the front end from my 2010 shown below for comparison.

2nd, I can provide location(s) and/or measurements of my vents, if desired.

There are a few people on Facebook who have installed them. The fiberglass version is VERY lacking, quite pitiful for the cost but to be expected from Extreme Dimensions. The CF version is better quality but doesnt look right to me

Ok, got it now. My apologies, as I misunderstood how you typed it in your original post (confusing part in bold below). It appeared that had owned a 2013+.

Anyhow, if you want the locations, and/or measurements for the Mustang GT hood vents I used on my hood, LMK.

I'll shoot them over to you via PM.

I will caution however, that once you cut into the OEM hood, you've essentially compromised the structural integrity of it.

Not a terribly big deal, unless you start creeping into the three digits anywhere. At about 125-ish, you'll start noticing the hood vibrating/flopping up/down.

At 150, it's enough to scare you. For me, at around 157mph, the flopping became so violent, the primary latch let go, and I almost lost my hood. Luckily the secondary held as I deceled rapidly.

One week later, I had hood pins installed. No problems ever since.

That was a fun experience.

Wait? SHO's go over 150? WHAT?

On a deserted highway, somewhere deep in the heart of Mexico from what I understand.

HAHAHA, I remember a HK media video with a certain SHO in Mexico. Pretty sure the Federallies enjoyed the SHO.

 

[bpd1151]

Ha! Ahhh yes. Fun days. Fun memories.

Trying to process that. I've seen 135 on the track in my 2015 Mustang and that was pretty scary, especially going into the hairpin at Summit Point. Taking the SHO over that, with a full ton more than the GT, is just ... okay, yes, I would like to try it. I might need to take the SHO out to the next HPDE. Anyone else done so?

 

[Angrymongoose]

You must have gutted that Mustang pretty good for it to be a full ton lighter than the SHO.

Okay are our cars not supposed to go that fast I did it a couple times on I-80 in Sacramento 140 MPH then the speed limiter kicked in and wouldn't let me go no faster.. That was some time last year completely stock except for my air intake

The speed limiter is 120 on my 2010. Newer models must have that bumped up? That's a strange thing for Ford to do.

the 13+ is governed at 137 from the factory

My SHO at over 150 mph is a dream. It is smooth, quiet, and handles pretty good for a land yacht at those speeds.
