I'm talking about the 94/95 Roush. They had a special cowl induction hood that fit their intake manifold.

A Cobra wannabe is a GT or V6 with a reproduction Cobra front bumper, Cobra R hood, Cobra R wheels with puny brakes inside them, and every cobra badge they can buy, plus stickers.

On the 94/95 cars you can easily tell because the Cobra's had a special trunk lid without the third brake light, and an LED brake light in the spoiler.

Lots of people do this, and they mix and match parts untill it is obvious that it's fake. You will see Cobra R hoods with 96 tail lights, 96-98 Cobra hoods with 94/95 tail lights, snake emblems in the grill (never standard) and 96-98 "Cobra" rear bumpers with 94/95 tail lights.

The regular 94/95 Cobra is pretty subtle, the front bumper, wheels and brakes are the most obvious differences, and I think that looks a lot better than some mixed up Cobra R look alike. Now If I add a Cobra R hood, I'll look almost like all of the wannabe's.

Yours is not a wannabe because it came with the hood. I does not have fake Cobra badging, you didn't mix and match years, it's an OEM part, and it has the power and brakes to back up the look.
