What hood flows with a saleen body kit. Cowl hood or Cobra R (2000 style)

blackmustang98_ · Mar 16, 2009

Hey guys as the title says. I gotta make a decision before buying a new hood.
So what would look better......all this on a black stang with complete saleen kit and spoiler.

Cowl Hood Or Cobra R Hood(2000 style)

And if you have any pictures of those hoods in a saleen please post them here!!

I like this one i saw on youtube.

saleen mustang vs 03 mustang Cobra

Thanks for the help in advance.

how about a heat extractor hood like 95opal has.

Mustangmaster77 · Mar 16, 2009

I didn't think of that, unless it's just between those two then I say the cowl here's a pic anyways

I dont like the heat extractor that much because is not lifted...even though looks sick but in a black car i dont think it ll be outstanding.

I havent seen many with the cobra R so i am trying to find some pictures as well

Can't go wrong with the Extractor hood! I like the smaller cowls & the single step hood. I chose between them for mine.

Single step:

id say a cowl

I'd say the twin scooped 96-98 cobra hood, it just looks better than the cobra r 1995 and 2000 hood. The saleen hood looks good, but it isn't that noticeable.

If you do go with a Cobra R hood, I'd say... 1995, because I've seen it on a saleen, and I know it looks good... crap... a 2000 R hood would look good too... Bah just get what YOU WANT.

Oh and remember, go with a 3 or 3.5 inch cowl... 2.5 and smaller is tooo short.

This is my buddies car...with the Saleen kit and 2000 cobra R style hood...

Green convertible...first one in the pic...

blackmustang98_ · Mar 17, 2009

That green Looks really good.
Do you have any more pics you could share here?
Who made that hood?
I was thinking more like the Cobra R, that one looks like a COWL with the Louvers..
Anybody has anymore pics with cowls or Cobra r??

eliyarbrough · Mar 17, 2009

I just had GaryG ask if I could find pics of that very hood. I'm seeing if he by chance still has it. If he does, I'll send it to you.

Yes you are right, it is a Cobra R style cowl with the 2000 R ribbing in the centre.
It is a CERVINI's hood.

EDIT; one more pic since you asked

I would go with the heat extractor hood. Yes its less noticeable, but it will be noticed by the people that matter. The hood on the green sn is a 2000 cobra R hood. The plain Cobra R hood doesn't have louvers. Thats jut my opinion though, do what works for you =)
