    If you look really close, you may notice that there's a hot chick leaning on this Mustang!

    I don't know if you guys have seen the new Car Craft, but they've got a gorgeous Mustang on the cover with a sweet cowl induction hood. I'm not really a big fan of the cowl induction, but this one really looks sharp. I think it would be a terrific addition to a Maverick. Anybody know if you can buy a hood like this for our Mavs? I'm assuming no, since I've been around all the internet companies that make 'glass hoods and I've never seen one. You'd probaby have to custom make it (which wouldn't be too bad, but who wants to go to all the work if you can buy one?) Anybody know if you can get this anywhere?

    His doesn't have those 'nostrils' though...
    That is most likely homemade.
    Never seen one like that.
    If you just want a regular cowl hood, there are a few companies that make them either in glass or CF.
    There are also companies that make the flat hoods in FG and advertise they will bond any of their glass scoops to it for a fee.

    I love the front scoops. I imagine you could probably get a regular cowl induction and patch in a set of the scoops yourself? I'm not a body man so I'm not sure how much work that would be.

    (btw, in case anyone's curious, that car has 15 total coats of paint on it. Four base, six orange, and five clear coat)
