Can someone organize a group buy for US "hoods" please? Surely if we get a pallet's worth the freight would be reasonable. Thanks.
You need to investigate the Active Hood/Bonnet Hinges.

Our cars have the Active Hood/Bonnet Hinges.

If there is a impact on the Hood/Bonnet area, an Explosive Charge in the Hood/Bonnet Hinges activates and forces/blows the rear of the Hood/Bonnet up 100mm.

This gives additional clearance between the motor and the Hood/Bonnet.

It is to protect pedestrians if they happen to end up on your Hood/Bonnet.

Read your owners manual and there is a section on it and precautions to take re the Explosive Charges associated with the Hood/Bonnet Hinges.

This is an Euro Standard.

Ford kindly incorporated it in our Aussie cars at no extra cost.

I found new bonnets on the U.S. Ford site including the Gt350 one but they all say they can't be "Shipped" and I can't determine if they're available already painted?
As for the vent holes in the bonnet, are they a recessed stamping or are they a straight edged hole? I'd be reluctant to just cut a hole in the stock bonnet if it's not that was as standard.
