I was thinking today. Did Ford put the Hitch on to stiffen the rear frame? DISCUSS

If you buy the SM pan, be prepared to spend twice its value in order to make it fit right. When extensively modified to fit right, it does look best.

also I LOVE the shaker hood, always have always will.....but I personally can not ever recall seeing a shaker hood on anything in the GT-1 GT-2 IMSA classes.....might go for a louvered hood or some custom heat extractor setup, maybe do a sectioning and transplant from a 03 cobra hood .

With the massive F-150 grill, we need a way to get the air out of there at high speed. The Grand Am FR-500 were blowing the hoods off so extraction grills were added. They also gained some speed due to the reduced air pressure build up. That's how the GT-500 got the grills on the hood and the front splitter. I wonder if those grills would look good on our hoods. Personally, I'm not keen on shaker/scoop hoods. But hey that's me. I prefer something functional.
