I remember seeing some S197s with headlight and possibly a hood extension to match the headlights.

They look like maybe an inch, two at the most out.

They go right on the top of the headlight housing and connect to the fender from what I can remember. Anyone know who makes them? Kind of makes the car look like the old 1970 mustangs(I think, I may be mixing it up in my head) and makes the car look more aggressive IMO.

maybe this? M1 hood kit

Or the Fang Performance front end?

That's what I'm thinking....

 

[2006YellowGT]

Will that work with a stock hood?

I like that!

 

[IronStomach]

I like that!

Fang Performance Mystery 8. Made by Aeroform, I think?

EDIT: scratch that, didn't look close enough, is that the Cervini's extension kit everyone mentions? Probably cheaper to do if it works with a stock hood, right?

Doesnt work with stock hood.

 

[2006YellowGT]

Dang, if it did i would seriously consider buying it.

Yeah, but I had no idea about the Cervini's kits then. I like the M1 more, plus Aeroform's supposedly not so good. :dunno

Is it possible to get the entire thing still? From that thread it looks like you can only get the hood, and you have to be lucky to find it even then it seems.

The black GT in that thread looks awesome, it gives the car just the right look IMO.

The Fang Mystery hoods?
I think Aeroform has the new style Mystery 7 and Mystery 8 hoods. But the original style hood with extensions... apaprently there were only two made. :dunno


EDIT: Here's the Aeroform store for the Mystery 7 and 8 hoods.

If there were only two made, then the the different s197s(I think at least 3) have custom made extensions for the headlights?

Mainly the look I'm going for is just like the front end on this one. It just makes it look so much more aggressive.

That's the Mystery 8, aeroform still makes those.

The story goes that the designer for the original Fang hood contracted with aeroform to produce the hoods. Aeroform wanted to change the design on the Mystery 7 though. There were a couple of the original non-aeroform Mystery 7 hoods made that integrated the headlight extensions into the hood so it didn't look like seperate pieces. The aeroform guys wanted it to look like the classic Shelby extensions, which were patchwork, like the Cervinis extensions.

So all you have from Fang now are the Mystery 7 and Mystery 8 hoods as made by aeroform, which there doesn't seem to be any issue of rarity. Just on the non-aeroform fang hood.

That said, both the 7 and 8 hoods look pretty good. I really like the ducktail too.

This was all I got from reading posts on the internet, take it for what it is... whispers on the net and probably useless.

I'd go with Cervini. I have yet to hear good things about Aeroform.

Then don't buy it? :dunno

Hence the reason I haven't or wouldn't. They ask for an opinion. I give it. What's IMO may not be IYO.

Not to be an ass, but nobody asked for an opinion on them.
