Clean car. Put the stock hood back on.
Oh, and this isn't tech.

Moved to talk.

killer job, except it looks a TON better with the stock hood. don't feel bad, I did the exact same thing, put on a 4 inch cowl and it looked like patchworked ass.

4inch cowls are WAY too big to look proper. now a 2.5 tends to look ok, but unless you need a 4 inch, I'd go with the stock hood or pick up a smaller cowl hood.

i hope you have another way to vent that crank case or i'd think about hooking back up that tube that goes from the throttle body to the valve cover...it serves a purpose, believe it or not

Your Mustang look very good, but I have to agree with the other opinions, the 4 inch cowl hood looks out of place, even if it was painted to match the rest of the car. BTW, I'm partial to '89 stangs, as I have one myself.

i think a 4in cowl looks mean, as long as you have the power to back it up

There is a breather in the pass side valve cover .

Fox with cowl hood = unique?

Well I wish I had the time and money to do the upgrades that you have done the Stang looks great! As for the hood I like the 4 inch cowl but I tend to agree with the others that the cowl looks just too large ! I was wondering you went about to get the Cobra intake and gt 40 heads why not the Corba R hood ! But in the end it is your Stang Put on what you like! Who cares what we think !

Nice car man. I like the hood but I probably would have went a little bit smaller, and i'd paint it. How well did your t5 swap go? Any problems?

Thanks for the comments , the cowl is actually only 3.5" . I also was very tempted to replace the hood with the stocker , unfortunately while sitting in my garage my daughter accidentaly knocked it over , fell on top of a cinder block and has a huge dent in the middle , so its the cowl for now .

The t-5 swap went amazingly well , I did a lot of research beforehand and had every little item , bolt , sensor , and nut I needed , took my time and did itmyself in my garage . It was the first mod I did after the CB , made it a whole different car .

I love the cowl hood Looking good, keep up the good work

didnt see it in the pics looks good

 

[Turkey Sammich]

IMO, the unpainted cowl just throws it off. Once it's painted to match (If you keep it), it will look great.

Nice work Came a long ways. Keep us updated.

 

[Strype]

Hellz yea
