Hey I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and I’m taking a closer look at our AmericanMuscle heat extractor style hood, fitting all 99-04 Mustangs. This functioning heat extractor hood from AmericanMuscle is modelled after the same hood found on the crazy S281 Saleen style Mustangs and it’s designed to give your New Edge that same aggressive look. Our version utilizes a thick, wave free fiberglass construction, that should make the prep work and paint that much easier. I say that because our hoods do ship unpainted, meaning you’re going to have to go to your local body shop to get it color matched to your ride, like we did with our 2000 V6 here. That is unless you have the ability to spray the hood yourself. As for the heat extraction feature, that is made possible thanks to these two functional vents, located on the front portion of the hood here. The idea for this being, whenever the car is moving, the air is going to enter the front portion of the grille, move through the engine and out these vents releasing any hot or trapped engine bay air that could otherwise hurt performance, especially on one of the cars equipped with blowers like the S281’s were. Getting the new hood installed should be a piece of cake thanks to the fact that it utilizes both the factory locations making it a simple bolt on job that should only take you about an hour start to finish. I will say it will definitely help to have an extra set of hands with you whenever you’re doing the job, because removing your factory hood and installing your new hood can be a little awkward if you try it yourself, and most importantly, you don’t want to scratch that new paint. By now you’ve probably noticed these AmericanMuscle hoods do not include holes to use with your factory squirter nozzles, just to maintain a cleaner look. If this is something you can’t live without, CDC makes a kit which actually relocates those nozzles to the wiper arms here, which solves that dilemma while still maintaining a clean look. So if you’re a big fan of the S281 Saleen and you wan to introduce a little of that functional styling on your New Edge, then be sure to check out this hood from AmericanMuscle.com
