Cowl Hood
Do Harwood cowl hoods fit good? i.e. any alignment problems?
What about the latch area it is re-enforced? Is a 3" or 4" hood too big?

One thing I can't stand is some schmo with a near stock engine
driving around with a 5 inch cowl hood. (Not saying you're a schmo...  )Unless you need the clearance, I'd say stay around 2 inches... make a statement... with your blower...

I could not agree more I do not like guys driving around with huge hoods! I was just wondering if the 3 inch hood is too big because on the Jegs website I did not see Harwood hoods listed in the 2 inch cowl.
I still want to know about Harwoods fit and finish. Is the rear of the cowl open or is it closed off with screens providine air?

Check on line. I have a Cincinnatti Composite and love mine. Just a thought.
Local guy has a 4-banger with a 4 inch cowl hood. He wanted to race me really bad so I thought I was going to get smoked by some big v8. I crossed the 1/4 mile looked in my rearview and he was about half way done.

I say get whatever you want, it may be kind of stupid to get a bigger hood than you need but your the one paying for it and driving around with it on your car. I think the 5inch extended cowl hoods look bayad, but how many people really NEED that big/long of a hood?

I guess no one here is a Cincinatti Composites fan. Am I the only one in the world that is happy with there hood. I compared mine to a buddies Cervini Stromin Norman hood and his looked lilke it was made by a drunk blind man. It does not fit at all. My CC hood fits better than my stock hood. I guess it is the luck of the draw.
