Cowl Hoods

88coupe · 06-13-2002, 04:28 PM

What are you guy's opinions on who makes the best quality cowl hoods? My friend got a 3" cowl from Cobra Designs and I had to spend 4 hours just fixing all the damn air pockets. So who makes the best hood for the money? Cervini's seems to be on the top of the list right now for me.

Harwood makes the best QUALITY hood IMO. If your interested I have a 4 inch cowl hood for sale, I'll save you a couple hundred dollars over a new one, it's never been painted, had it on my car a few months, then I sold my car, so I took it off. I'm not too far from you either.

How much, you have any pics of it?

1BAD89 · 06-13-2002, 05:10 PM

I'd take $350 for it, I paid $550 shipped, $80 of that was the truck freight, if you buy a hood your going to have to pay truck freight. Sorry this is the only pic I have.

Cool, is it in primer or still in gelcoat? Not that it really matters. Well lets figure out maybe sometime next weekend or so I'll come up there and check it out? Are there any flaws in it..like cracks.. How did it fit?

Harwood makes the best hoods or anything else. I got my fiberglass doors, hood, trunklid, lexan windows etc from them. Awesome quality too!! My hood came within like three days after i ordered it. I got the Aero Scoop (Pro-Stock Style).

I have a Harwood also. Perfect fit. End of story. Cervini's are great as well.

88coupe, it's still in the gelcoat, no cracks, minor surface scratches on the top(nothing major), sand paper will take care of that, which you need to do anyway before you paint it.

IMO it's Cervini's.... A little pricey, but worth it! Good luck!

stangparts.com has the best hoods for the money. High quality, good price. better than cervinis, and cheaper.

Do you still have the hood? Can it use the factory latch or pin on?

email me: goonie@mmcable.com and we will figure something out.
