The factory S550 hood does its job—but it doesn’t add airflow, style, or under-hood cooling. Cervini’s Ram Air Hood changes all that. Designed with a bold dual-inlet ram scoop, this hood actively channels cold air toward your intake system while extracting heat through the rear exit vents. It’s a functional and aggressive upgrade that keeps your temps in check and your front-end looking track ready.
Unlike basic fiberglass alternatives, this hood is hand-laid and reinforced for strength and durability. The design mimics the muscle-era ram air aesthetic, blending modern Mustang lines with throwback attitude. Whether you're building a daily driver or prepping for street hits, this hood keeps your engine bay cooler—and your build looking mean.
You’ll find it alongside other performance-ready exterior parts in our 2018 Mustang body styling parts catalog and in our dedicated Mustang hood upgrades collection.
