The shop claimed to have about 18 hours total in the hood, including the work to route and attach the washers. Unfortunately, the way things worked out, I didn't get to see the hood before they started working on it. They said it required a lot of blocking to get even, and being on a black car certainly didn't help my cause. And admittedly, I told the shop I expected it right, and wasn't worried about cost as much as the hood being right. In the end, we negotiated some on their labor and both us came out good. Overall, I am very pleased...

Thank you, have you had any issues with water entering the intake ? I experienced in two ( while parked outside in the rain) occasions water entering the cold air intake via the left stock air vent causing the engine dropping into the limp mode.

None at all. The heat extractors are moved further back on the hood so there's not one right over the air intake. Where these are located actually drain off each side of the engine into open areas. Maybe a few drops or so on the coil covers but that's it, and any drops seem to be on the outside edge of the covers so no worries about water around the intake and coils. I do my best not to drive mine in the rain so I can't speak to water entering through the front scoop.

Hey DRKHORS that is exactly the hood I’m going with - Grabber Blue. Hope to get it installed in two weeks

Did you ever get yours installed, Pagey?

Thank You for the feedback guys .
I finally got the quote from my insurance company so I can move on with the hail damage repair and hopefully this is my future hood
Of course, it's all your fault

Fitment isn't high-end luxury car perfect, but IMO it's plenty good enough for a Mustang.

Thanks, the colour blending looks flawless on the pictures.
