If you could compare them for yourself, you'd see what I mean. I think the best quality hood I've seen was made by a new company out of Fla. I can't remember thier name(maybe it xenon, or something).

Sorry rbatson, I forgot to answer your question. As far as I know (and believe me, I have checked MANY different places) only Motion and CC sell a 4" Cowl induction hood for a '79-82 Mustang. ONLY those 2 manufacturers I could find. All the other companies (including the great and all-knowing Cervini's) have basically said "Screw the '79-82s, we don't make hoods for those cars."

CC is cheap ($229 + s/h) for that hood. Motion is the only other place. So from what I've heard here, and what I experienced first hand, and what I feel I must do, I decided not to buy from CC until I start hearing better reviews. If they want customers, they GOT to do better.

I also reasoned, some people say they have no problem with CC, but MANY others say that CC screwed them and I take that seriously. I was really wanting to buy from them, b/c aparently the are better known (even if it's for the negatives) and cheaper.

"But what if I get screwed too? I might not, yeah, but then again, I might." So rather than leaving that possibility open, I totally shut it off. I just don't want to have to beat myself in my big head for not listening to all the warnings.
