If you’re looking for a lightweight, functional, and aggressive hood option for your New Edge build, the TruFiber A38 Fiberglass Hood is a top-tier pick. With its sculpted power dome and wide dual extractor vents, the A38 solves both clearance and cooling problems, making it ideal for cars running big intakes, superchargers, or that just tend to heat soak after a few hard pulls.
Compared to the stock steel hood, you’re dropping serious weight while picking up airflow efficiency and sharper styling. The A38 bolts right onto factory hardware, making installation simple, and its gel-coated fiberglass surface is ready for body prep and paint.
You’ll find this hood in our full collection of 1999–2004 Mustang GT styling parts, and more specifically in the aftermarket Mustang GT hoods category.

Shipping & Damage Policy
NOTE: Shipping charges may vary based on factors such as destination, package size, and weight. While we strive to provide accurate shipping estimates during checkout, in some cases, actual shipping costs may exceed initial estimates.
If the shipping cost for your order exceeds the amount initially charged during checkout, our team will contact you to collect any additional fees.
IMPORTANT: TruCarbon packs all products carefully to prevent damage during shipping. However, damage may still occur occasionally. Please inspect the packaging and the products carefully upon receiving them, then accept the shipment and notate any damages and irregularities, such as crushed, torn, punctured, or broken parts on both the packaging and the product, on the freight bill or receipt in the driver’s presence. Buyer must retain all cartons, packing materials, and damaged products for the carrier’s damage inspector to inspect. Do not refuse shipment or return it without approval, because the buyer’s right to make a damage claim may be denied. A signed receipt without any notation indemnifies the carrier as well as TruCarbon from any further damage claims. Discovery of damages after a clear delivery becomes the responsibility of the customer.
All damages must be notified to carrier and the dealer within 24 hours. In cases of damage with proper notation on receipt, the carrier will determine whether to pay for repair cost or replacement value of the damaged goods after damage inspection. Replacement value is the amount the buyer paid to the distributor and is not negotiable. All disputes about the settlement amount should be addressed with the carrier. TruCarbon, under no circumstances, shall be liable for the damaged product or for subsequent settlement of the claim with the carrier.
