    new hood for the Cobra

    Check it out and give me your opinion.....took the Cobra R hood off for it but Im going to keep it too for the time being. Very close color match, factory ford zinc yellow. I had to do a good bit of adjusting to get the gap on the front bumper closed up with the 03 cobra hood.

    before adjusting the gap

    I took every bit of slack I had in the header panel and moved it up. took two roughly 1/4 inch rubber spacers under the bumper cover in between the bumper and header panel then I moved the hood forward. im really happy with the results, you cant tell I did anything to it.

    its every bit I could move the bumper cover up with out it rubbing on the under side of the hood.

    Looks good!

    For some reason, I guess the way the headlights roll back under the hood, a lot of those cars look like the hood isn't lined up right. Yours actually looks more "right" the way you have it. Kind of hard to type what I see, but I think it's because the markers have trim against the fensers while the headlight parts just goes under the hood, sort of makes an illusion the hood isnt right.

    It looks great on there!
