The stock S550 hood wasn’t designed with high-horsepower builds in mind. If you’ve added a supercharger, intake manifold, or just need serious clearance, the Cervini’s 4-Inch Cowl Hood solves that by making room while improving heat extraction and giving your Mustang an aggressive, track-inspired profile.
With a 4" rise, this hood clears most top-mounted blowers and intake setups without compromising the factory latch or hinge positions. It’s also built with an integrated rear air vent that helps pull heat out of the engine bay, keeping things cooler during hard pulls or stop-and-go traffic.
You’ll find this hood in our collection of 2015 Mustang body styling parts and more specifically among other aftermarket Mustang hoods designed for serious street and strip performance.
