HA.. had that idea on my page.. check it out on my page #6

I WELCOME THE IDEA , I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT AND DIFERENT , I WILL JUST HOPE PRICES WILL GO DOWN JUST A LITTLE TO MAKE IT MORE POPULAR
GREAT JOB

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im not a big fan of mustangs, but it looks kinda cool. you could make it yourself for a couple houndred though

yea.. get a carbon fiber hood… when your in an accident, watch out for it coming back at you and decapitating you…

yea, because lifting your hood up is soooo hard. taking the extra effort to lift your hood > $2500 for a clear piece of plexi or lexan.

Is it inventive? Not really. The idea has been passed around for a few years. Its it practical? No. For trailer queen cars maybe but imagine how dirty that mutha would get on a daily driver. Look at the bottom of your hood sometime. Does it scream “Vandalize Me!”? Sure but not stealing stuff. Park on the side of the road or some parking lot and some jackass who you told off walks by knowing its your ride and he has a hand full of Brillo.
I could better spend my money on a carbon fiber hood, look better and have a real purposes (heat dissipation and weight reduction ie). Call it hating but its just not a good product.

I’ve noticed that its so easy for people to complain about someone ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING inventive and new— I personally love it– I build cars and would seriously think of buying one— for those of you complainers- if you dont like what they have done- shut your mean mouths get off your butts and YOU come up with something better– you guys wish you had one but cant or wont afford it — if you stopped smoking cigarettes or drinking bear for 4 months everyone could afford one– I hear excuses—– If a car is stolen whether its a show car or not thats what insurance is for—-To Hillbank Motorsports— Awesome job and my son just bought a 08 Mustang GT and I told him Id go half with him and we install it—-Keep on swimming my fellow Motorsports patriots!! Sincerely; Priscilla Burns owner of Monzter Motorsports—

That’s not new. I know ppl who had the same idea built years ago…

every one saying “it would get stolen” is an idiot! this is for show cars only! Get past that!

Its a nice car if it was just a show car but never for someone who drives around and races

it is awsome

I love it!!! The price is rediculous!!! Wish some competion would come about to cover more cars and get the price down… My Tbird would look great with this kind of setup…

I dont think too many people are going to try to steal the mods off your car whether they can see what’s under the hood or not. Last time my car got broken into they couldn’t get my deck cause it’s mounted with 4 screws, so i dont think a clear hood piece is much of an advertisement. If they were capable of stealing the entire car they probably wouldnt pick a highly conspicuous modded mustang.

ahhh all you guys are saying wether you like it or not, did anyone read how much they want for it? $1,299 or $2,499 assembled…FOR A HOOD WITH A CLEAR CENTER!?!?!?!?!?!?!

its a new roushe version. All you people are haters.

It’s like, hey we ran outa sheet metal! Iagree with the two comments, steal me, and Iv’e seen better looking engines

I wouldn’t do it to my car but I think it’s cool.

What’s going on there is that is the Roush Stage III s/c kit. It places the alternator in the location you see in the pic.

yea umm that engine looks way out of perportion look at the altenator, i got an 05 mustang, so umm whats going on here.

WoW! That looks great! I wonder if that is the new “mystry motor” I saw in a car mag. recently..wasen’t much info available on it, hence the “mystery”.
Chevy and Ferd have, since time immorial, traded off as leaders of the pack. They both do a fantastic job of giving us automotive history.

hella gay

Hmm… there is a Rustang (riced mustang) in town that has a SUNROOF cut and pasted into his hood. Looks absolutely retarded. This doesn’t look much better, but at least it’s a V8.

On that note, it’s still not a Chevy LS V8 haha…

And what’s the deal with the ZR1 having a top mount intercooler? I suppose it would be good for throttle response, not having to run through as much piping as a front mount, but what about heat soak?

OH LOOK A CLEAR HOOD! Wow thats so 90’s! Dosent anyone remember the lexan hoods that came in clear and other colors…they were flops and im sure this one will follow. In the end with this hood you end up looking like a tool. Nobody wants to see your awsome plastic intake tube….I mean REALLY!

The ZR1 Blue Devil does have a clear piece in the hood so that you can see the intercooler on top of the engine. Search “2009 ZR1 Blue Devil”

thats just silly

ok I went n looked at the ZR1 and it does not have a clear hood, the ZR1 hood has a chunk missing and the engine slightly poking through. much like the the “Shaker” hoods on trans-ams hemi-cudas and boss mustangs

the gold supra on 2fast2furious had a similar hood setup

hmmm if the vehicle was a trailer queen, yes, other then that.. no.

Yeah cool for shows I guess but a nicely painted hood looks way better any day. Plus someone would fuck with it if you didn’t keep an eye on it.

not interested

i agree with scott. i mean where i live in detroit, if you have a nice car with a loud system, just hope you have full cover insurance cuz your car would be gone 20 min after you get out of it

Been there done that! Griptuning had a metal mesh hood where you can see the engine with out opening the hood of my Dodge SRT-4. I must say it does look nice as hell. I know to prototype that was not cheap.
I like the mesh style because it cools the engine real nice and rain storms does not give me any problems. Keep up the cool work.

the zr1 hood DOES have the same exact thing. this WAS previously offered as a full plastic piece in the aftermarket, but this looks a lot less tacky. and there are definitely many more aesthetically pleasing engines than a mustangs.

cowel induction, are you retarded? what would be the point of that

does it come in cowel induction?

Its ok, I could see this being a hit with the teens thru 20s but not for the mature and more experienced car buff/collector.

mayb some of you shouldnt talk about zr1 poser. ive seen the zr1 in person and geuss what the hood isnt see through

ZR1 posers!

Acy704 enough with your yankee rubbish.

that looks amazing

OH MY GOD!!! thats sweet as hell. i need to get one of those for when i get done rebuilding my car.

This is old news, these hoods have been around for years.

Whoops, i meant trunk, lol.

I guess I like it. I mean some people choose to show where their money goes, while some don’t. For those who want to show off what they couldn’t before, this offers a new outlet for them. I can only imagine the next step would be a see-thru trunk for those more audibly inclined…they can call it the all new “See My Valuables” hood by the “JackMyShit” company.

No?

I’m pretty sure they would have thought of the “fogging up” problem, and any other issues for that matter.

can anyone say ZR1 impression?

pretty gay…

wat if it fogs up??

didnt they sell full clear plastic hoods years ago for imports and such? I think some places made em ilegal due to safety issues. This looks pretty sweet.

that would look sick on a challenger or a charger…new gen and old ones

that shit it hot man..I want one for my chrysler himi C

will the sun overheat the engine?

I think its overpriced by about 1000$.how can they ask 1299.99$ for that shit,i can do a hood like that myself at home.

Pricey as hell custom piece. Cool none the less.

It’s OK for a show car but I’m not sure how practical it’ll be on the street. Does anyone know if it’ll be available on other years of Mustangs, or perhaps other manufacturers?

Armoredhaulin um have you seen the new zr1 the hood does not look like that the zr1 had s hole in the middle with the engine cover sticking out so what vett were you looking at

To be honest I’ve never liked Ford vehicles because I was always a Chevy man. Then I bought a Dodge Ram with a Hemi and that turned me against anything other than Dodge. With all my hate towards Ford vehicles I must say that the clear view of the engine has to be the hardest thing I’ve seen yet on a Mustang. There’s only two words you should have for all those with negative comment toward your vehicle, “HI HATERZZZZZ.” People hate when your better than them, because the wish they thought of the Idea (you want them to hate because that’s when you know you’re hot shhhhhh). When they quit hatin’, start worrying then!!!!! MUCH PROPSSSS, Keep doin ya thing. You’ve made me a fan of MUSTANGS.

It looks like a bad rip off of the new ZR1 Corvette hood. If it hadn’t already been done it would be a cool piece, but it has so who cares?

Jack a Ferrari/Lamborghini engine is not that empressive like they used to be as much as you pay for those cars you should get more Gallardo $198,000 552hp Viper $85,710 600hp Cadillac sts v $72,710 469hp Challenger str8 $39,320 425hp Charger str8 $38,988 425hp so you be the judge but that glass on that is sick you put in the work you show it off

It ain’t no Ferrari/Lamborghini engine u dumbshit.

bad ass shytt

YOOOO YOOOO///DIS SHIT IZ OFF DA WALLZ IMMA WANAS DO DIS SHIT TO MI 92 ACCORD GON LOOK BOOMIN BOSS MASTA SET SHIT OFFF LIK A BUMB/////BOOOOM//BOOOM YOOOOO CUZ IT MURDAAA YO

YOOOO YOOOO///DIS SHIT IZ OFF DA WALLZ IMMA WANAS DO DIS SHIT TO MI 92 ACCORD GON LOOK BOOMIN BOSS MASTA SET SHIT OFFF LIK A BUMB/////BOOOOM//BOOOM YOOOOO CUZ IT MURDAAA YO

why NOT use glass?

you have it all around you and it works fine…..

Im a huge fan of Mustangs. I love what this guy did to his hood. Wicked Awesome. Wish they took more pics of the car though.

Wow,hopefully it won’t be overused because it does scream douchebag. Yes it is as tacky as crotchless panties. Tight, tough, insane, not sure about any of those adjectives. Ridiculous looking, yes.

Looks like something thats gonna end up being way overused, like lambo doors.

It’s cool, but it just screams “DOUCHEBAG”

Had that idea as a custom mod for my Firebird, but haven’t worked out whether clear plastic sheet could withstand the temps. Clear acrylic wouldn’t do, and I’m not about to use glass. Anyone got ideas?

This is the next best thing to crotchless pants.

that is so tight. wonder how tough it is

wow that s insane
