HillBank MotorSports has just released a clear glass window hood for 2005-2009 Ford [Mustangs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1967-ford-mustang-fastback). It uses actual Mustang hoods, so there aren’t any aftermarket fit issues. The clear hood comes as a kit, or you can pay extra to have it professionally installed. It’s likely that the muse for this clear glass window hood is the [2009 Corvette ZR1](http://jalopnik.com/5037293/2009-corvette-zr1-first-drive). Since the design mod has already entered the aftermarket world of car parts, it’s only a matter of time before we see these on heavily-tuned Supras and Subarus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Transparent Engine Hoods:** The trend of transparent engine hoods allows car enthusiasts to showcase their engine modifications. - **Aftermarket Car Parts:** The aftermarket car parts industry is set to benefit from the demand for transparent engine hoods. - **Custom Car Modifications:** Custom car modification businesses have an opportunity to offer transparent engine hoods as a unique service. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Modification:** The automotive modification industry can incorporate transparent engine hoods as a new offering. - **Automotive Aftermarket:** The automotive aftermarket industry can capitalize on the demand for transparent engine hoods. - **Automotive Design:** Automotive design companies can explore innovative approaches to incorporate transparent engine hoods into their designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Glass Roof Sportscars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mc20-cielo-1.md) - [High-Performance Sports Car Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-ford-mustang-gtd.md) - [Retro-Inspired Mustangs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mustang-shelby-gt500-heritage.md) - [Luminated Transparent Custom Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-id-3-ev.md) - [Nostalgic Muscle Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ac-cobra-gtg.md) - [Convenience Store-Themed Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-eleven-ford-mustang.md) - [Bulletproof Transparent Glass Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuclear.md) - [Custom-Built 1970s Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970-plymouth-cuda.md) - [Panoramic Dragster Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gac-u.md)
