Thread: Stay with Mach 1 hood or go Cowl Induction

  1. #1

    Stay with Mach 1 hood or go Cowl Induction

    I have had a Mach 1 hood on my 1986 Mustang GT for about 12 years. I used to have a Cervini Cowl hood that I sold. I actually picked up another Cervini Cowl hood.

    What do you all think...Mach 1 or Cowl Hood?

    If I go cowl hood I am not sure if I will put GT stripe on it like picture 2.

    Both look nice, but I kind of like the cowl hood a little more.

    I think the car will look too plain with an all-white cowl hood.

    Not sure what I like more - the Mach hood or cowl with the black GT stripe. I'd probably go with what was currently on the car and put the $$ to more mods.

    Another one for the cowls hood and gt stripe. 86 nose is my favorite and a cowl hood and stripe just looks the best imo. But both are def nice.

    Well no matter what I do it will never be as nice as your sweet 1988 Mustang. That Stang was one of the nicest fox body I have ever seen!

    Cowl with the stripe. Keep the mach if you want to change it back. After 12 years I would be ready for a change.

    I'm with silvernotch. 4 eye gt's deserve the hood decal. Looks awesome.

    I'm not a fan of the cowl hood ... I say keep the hood you have one (which looks GREAT) or go back to stock with the GT stripe.

    My vote would be cowl hood with stripe. Not a 4 eye front, but atleast it's white with a black stripe for reference

    Honestly, the Mach 1 hood on a fox almost makes me wanna vomit. They look absolutely horrible. Go cowl.
