    I will instal some soon I think. The hood does move around a bit when you meet semis and such. I ran the rubber hood adjusters up some and it tighted it up a little, but I still want to play it safe.

    It is the trufiber GTS-3 hood. I modified the back end closest to the windshield to flow better with the car and side body lines. Mine doesn't just drop down like it did from factory. I built it up and put holes to match the front.

    In my opinion it should have been made this way from the get go. I paid an extra 300 dollars to get this done but it was WELL WORTH IT!!!!

    Got hood pins from SHELBY and had the powder coated!

    I would highly recommend using hood pins. On the highway it would shake pretty good with stock hood even after adjusting rubber stops so when I bought my hood I bought hood pins before I even got the hood shipped to me.

    I tried to get Shelby's black hood pins with the Shelby logo but Shelby was having an issue keeping them black. Apparently the would turn brown after a few months.
