Bunch of ?'s about the GT500 hood, ram air, etc.

The GT500. Does ANYONE have this hood on their truck? :confused:

I did a search on the old board before it went down and I could find no one with this hood on their truck. I would really like to see how it looks before I order it. Since the old board isn't around anymore, I didn't think it would hurt much to bring this topic up again to sort of build up the database. So if anybody has a pic of their truck with the 500 hood, puhlease lemme see it! :)

If you're reading this and wondering why I am not spending all this money on mods, it's because I have always wanted an aftermarket hood; different strokes. Hope that doesn't make me a ricer, lol. :cool:

Just a few more little questions. I am going to make the hood functional. Will I get any sort of power increase with the K&N conical filter I have? I figure it won't be as good as "real" ram air with a big purdy air box, but some air should still get there, right? At the very least I'll be running much cooler.

I haven't asked a garage for an estimate yet. How much has everyone paid to get their hoods painted? I'll have it painted black with clearcoat I suppose. I guess that's the way to go; I have the 1993 model, which is bad for the paint.

Oh yeah just one more. Is there a cheap way to ship these things? My buddy paid 93 dollars if I remember to ship his Cervini's. :eek:

Thanks very much for reading my book and answering any of the questions. I figured it would be better to ask in one big one that to ask in a bunch of small ones. :p
 
I dont think anyone has that hood on this board.Ive looked at the hood on the site a few times and its been talked about on the board before but I guess no one wants to be the guine pig.Although I did see it on a regular F-150 once just passing by and it was diffently noticable.I believe it or not thought it looked pretty good from what i could see.If you do get it please post some pic.
 
Guess I'LL be the guinea pig.

It's a go. I'm going to buy the monster. Probably order it tomorrow. Once it's here I'm going to make it functional, then get someone to paint it. I'm getting one estimate tomorrow as a matter of fact.

Thanks Kwalls, glad somebody decided to chime in.
