If the stock S550 hood doesn’t match the aggressive tone of your build, the Cervini’s Stalker Hood brings the heat—literally and stylistically. Designed with dual rear heat extractors and a contoured center dome, this hood solves one of the biggest problems for boosted and high-performance NA builds: engine bay heat soak. It also seriously upgrades your Mustang’s curb presence with one of the most menacing, road-ready profiles Cervini’s offers.
Built from premium hand-laid fiberglass and shipped in a paint-ready gel coat, the Stalker Hood is reinforced underneath to eliminate flex, flutter, and cracking. The design pulls heat through functional rear exit vents while offering extra engine clearance up front. Whether you’re running a power adder or just want to make a statement, this hood checks every box for performance and street appeal.
You’ll find it in our lineup of 2018 Mustang body styling parts and in the full collection of Mustang hoods built for form, function, and fitment.
