It looks just like a supersnake hood.   I am also thinking about getting one.  http://bmcextremecus...fomugtshsu.html

It looks pretty nice, until you notice the screws on the vents.  :redcard:

It would be heavier but I cant find a super snake hood available for the 2010, I did ask they are supposed to come out with carbon fiber inserts as I do not care for the chrome.

I'm not so sure about the vent screws either, but I imagine anybody willing to paint theirs to match wouldn't balk at filling the screw holes before painting the inserts and using an industrial adhesive to mount them.  I suspect the design was made to accommodate the chrome inserts which may be more aesthetically consistent with contrasting screw heads.  Lord knows people have done far less tasteful things to their Mustangs.

I otherwise like the look very much, particularly the forward aperture.

I will probably order one in the next couple weeks.  I believe you can get the fiberglass vent and they don't come predrilled,  so you can mount them how you want.  I may get the Shelby heat extractors and graft them in.  I personally think the flat vents are a little boring.
