Do NOT buy from ikon motorsports

[RJ787]

Here's another prime example of the hood with poor fitment. Unless the fender bends in (not possible) the edge of the hood is off and can never fill that gap, it's curved wrong both vertically and horizontally/the mold isn't even right.

That's how the OEM hood fitment is on my 2020 GT350R, and I'm the original owner. I'll try to take a picture of it later.

There’s a guy here that did a full conversion on his 50th LE GT to the GT350. Drawing a blank on his username at the moment but he has a whole thread on it. It’s a lot of work, it would be very similar for the GT500.

Unfortunately everyone that does the custom work and old school are just that, old school. They won't touch newer cars and only work on the older classics doing custom work and what not.

Well that's unfortunate. I hope you eventually either find someone to address your issues or you find another hood that works for you. Good luck!

I used all Ford 350 parts, including the hood hinges.

Someone who has a 350 put a 500 hood on his car. It required a lot of rework, around the door/fender/hood area and around the lights.

The Ford 350 Hood on the Ford 350 Fenders sits up a bit in the middle. There is a lot of adjustability, but adjusting the hinge to frame requires the fender to be off. A lot of work. Mine is still not perfect after 10 years. Won't have a chance to adjust them again until I remove the fenders to swap out the 350 radiator core support for the 500 support, which has the Hood Pins Built In. The 2020 and up 350s use the 500 core support without the hood pin hardware. The Hood Pin Hardware should provide another point of contact to locate the hood from which I can then adjust the hinges correctly. It also requires cutting the 350 hood to support the hood pin hardware.

Not sure how these other aftermarket hoods fit with cars that haven't changed out the core support on the 15-17s. 18s and up have a lower core support made out of metal instead of carbon fiber. .

Incase anyone was wondering the current status, ikon has officially replied to my states consumer protection and said that they will NOT be provided any compensation or any resolution to the issue and that they will blame any and all defects on the shop installing it and that includes all of their hardware rusting out yes rusting out to the point that Im going to have to drill out the bolts holding the middle vent in because the bolt has have fallen off they are fully gone from rust. And that happened in less than a year and are on the inside of the hood and not exposed to salt or water. Not even the cheapest Chinese hardware I know of will rust out that fast and the company refusing any responsibility is crazy. I hope no one else encounters this and that no one else gives a penny to the horrendous company that is ikon motorsports
