Tiger Racing Hood

Anyone have one of these hoods installed on the '05-'14 Stang? It is an extractor-style hood, no cold air induction.

Real Speed Auto had a Boss 302 track car in the shop. And it had this hood, looks awesome and is supposed to be very functional. They have a bunch of more pics on their facebook page.

Looks great. After looking at a few different style of hoods, this one looks like a winner. I'll be ordering this one soon.

Just don't a get the carbon fiber version, do some research. It develops tiny stress cracks. Stay with the fiberglass one.

My thoughts exactly. Carbon fiber wasn't on my list, regardless of what style I had in mind. I had gone on several other sites and saw the same comment about the CF version.

Were they doing any work to the hood ie prep? I have heard the Fiberglass is of exceptional quality once you let it degas for about 3 or 4 days.

IIRC that was on 1 car and was due to the Pistons being used to hold up the hood. The problem with the Carbon Fiber is that it needs a lot of work to make it a show car finish. Although with a black car, the black vinyl should match up nicely with my paint

Some aluminum hoods are showing corrosion on them and are very expensive if you want to replace them by a dealer, This looks like a great alternative if you need to replace one. I am keeping close watch on mine and it has spots on it underneath that has not spread yet.

Replayman your ride looks awesome. I read your blog and it sounds like you worked through all the conversion problems. If someone is interested in doing this conversion, you give them a good baseline..
