Need help picking a hood....

2000novigt · 05-29-2006, 10:19 AM

I need to get an aftermarket hood, but I dont know who or where the best place is... I want a hood that fits properly and is not a pos...
If you have an aftermarket fiberglass hood please post up pics and where you got it at, Thanks!!

Look into Steeda, Cervenis, VIS. All are great quality.

Cervini has a nice cowl hood.

Saleen has some nice hoods (the extreme hood is best) but are rather pricey.

Steeda's website says hood pins must be used for operation above 85mph on all of their fiberglass hoods. That sucks...I see a lot of Steeda hoods on mustangs, but not many hood pins...what's the real deal here?

Matt94GT · 05-29-2006, 04:13 PM

Deff go with a well know brand like Cervanis, Steeda etc. I went with one of the run of the mill fibreglass hoods it fits pretty well but has a bit more of a gap between the fenders and the hood then the stocker did.

That is one company a friend of mine used for a body kit and it really sucked. Finish was bad, fitment was horrable, it was a nightmare for him.

negligence. steeda isn't joking, I know plenty of people who's hoods have come off on the highway causing thousands of dollars of damage and endangering peoples lives. hood pins are a necessity in my opinion

I see...whoa. I still see A LOT of people 'round here with a non OE hood without hood pins. Is there ANY cool looking aftermarket hoods made of metal, or a fiber one but doesnt require hood pins?

Slither · 05-29-2006, 09:20 PM

Kaenen for the win. I love my hood!
