Which Hood?

[RUSH2112]

Thanks for everyone's input. I am leaning towards the heat extractor myself.

Agreed on the quality of the HO Fibertrends hoods. Unfortuantely I guess that makes me one of Wick's friends.

HAHAHA I suppose.

I looked at the HO fibertrends. I really don't care for hoods that stick up really high near the cowl grille. Plus I like the designs of the scoops on the hood.

If cervinis is too overpriced, and I don't like HO fibertrends what are my options

Well, it is a cowl hood. Thats where they are supposed to be high at. It does serve a purpose and is functional. I honestly feel HO's hoods fill the mustang lines way better than any other thing out there. They rise quick and hold a nice smooth look all the way back. They have smaller ones too. Get some more people interested and I may take a ride to get them for ya. Your other option would be ABC or Cincinati composits. HAHAHAHAHAH

Well you have options.

• Spend the money and get a good hood e.g. HO Fiber.
• Save the money get something else e.g Cervinis & pay more to your body shop when they have to spend time fixing the fit and finish.

I think we have a WINNNER!!!!

Here are some heat extractor hood photos on some cars I found. :rock:













Looks like I'll be able to keep my strut tower brace. :rock:



And finally a profile shot.. This is what it should look like (of course mine will be ALL black)

Wow, if those don't look like an 03, 04 Cobra hood I don't know what does. Looks awesome

Just an FYI...... HO Fbertrends will be at the Ford swap in Columbus next weekend. If you order your hood, and pick it up before 12:00 Saturday, its pretty good deal.

I bought a 2 1/2" cowl hood for my Capri, normally $369.00, picked up there for $325.00. I'm going anyway, so the gas is a wash ;)

They are one of the few to make a hood for my car anyway, but theirs is still the best fit and finish of any of them that do. Also BTW, for SVO' guys they make a true SVO hood out of glass as well.

Rush - you need to take a look at someone with the HO Fibers. Just looking at some of those pictures I can see issues. Take a look at Robs - it is much better then most of them out there.

Already got one Bob. I actually got a couple of them the last time I was there. I have a friend who lives right there. Its an excuse to go visit him. HAHAHA I think I got them for 300 each.

Heck Don, you can make it a GT if you buy my parts. I am selling the whole kit, front back and both sides.

What are you selling?

[Viper_ed]

What are you selling?

He bought a Stalker Kit.

[Chris00GT]

I have Cervini's hoods on all 3 of my stangs. My dad did all the prep work on all of them and said they were next to perfect and didn't require hardly any work. Now if you mention the word "Saleen" to him hill start bitching about all the prep time he had on my stuff. Another nice thing is if you live close to CJ's in Harrisburg, you can pick the stuff up there and save on the cost of shipping

This will be Hannah. HAHAHAHAH

This will be Hannah. HAHAHAHAH

And this will be Wick right before he moves all his stuff out of the house:

Put me down for a 1 1/2" Hood. Please keep us posted on how many. Maybe we can get a "group (SCS) discount"?

...and down to motown with you and monica. HAHAHAH

To answer Rush's question, yes I did buy a stocker/cobra kit. I am selling allmy GT stuff. Front has a cobra insert.

What is the average cost for having a fiberglass cowl hood painted?

[Black87GT]

I know its not one of your choices, but i just bought a twin turbo cowl hood for my '87 gt, and i love it, looks very nice, just posted pics here

I would stay away from the extractor hood simply because you might want to bolt on a supercharger down the road...because it's not a question of IF you will want more power, but rather a question of WHEN..:D

The extractor is the best looking of the 3 choices though...
