Holy, that's awesome! I loved the look of the heat extractor on my 2012 GT500.

Because taking the time to mask out all the measurements, making my own patterns, cutting the hood , modifing vent, and pushing the little skills that I was hoping i had was much more challenging. ... Thank you for your input

Well I'm glad I dug into this thread. At least no I know what heat extractors are for. At least I know it has function. Not my thing but good fabrication none-the-less.

Looks great, and the contours match. Love the Boss 302 hood too!

Thanks bud, hit me up if you have any ?s before you start cutting. I've done several gt500 vents .. GT500 much easier to install than the ones I just did. Hope all is well

That's a first.

I'd NEVER even consider it if you couldn't get the OEM ones from the Ford family.

Looks nice IMO. 2 thumbs up.
