Does an 03 cobra hood fit on an 03 V6?

03StangBang · 07-15-2008

I was wanting to buy either a Gt hood or a cobra hood would either fit directly or do I need some extra work to make them fit?

50resto has your Cobra hood vent inserts. Also your going have a gap between your hood and front bumper as it does not stick out as far as the V6 or GT hood.

Thanks for vents info. How much of a gap are we talkin about here?

Expect it to be about an inch or two give or take. I have a pic of someone's car with a Cora hood and stock front bumper. If I find it I'll show you. It's noticeable to us mustang fanatics

but "normal"(lol) people will not notice it much.

^+1 You can use the Cobra hood with the stock bumper but you can not use the Cobra bumper with the stock hood. The stock hood would come down and hit the Cobra bumper before it shut.

I have that problem

I'm debating on a 2inch Cowl hood or the 03-04 Cobra hood. Tough choice for me
