Anyone heard of or used this cowl hood?
I have been looking around for a cowl hood and found a few I like. Has anyone used these before or know about them?

I also really like the VIS carbon fiber cowl hood, but that little line in the front of the hood in the center of the cowl pisses me off. If it was able to be sanded down a bit right there before paint to make it go away I would be for it. Lighter hood, plus cowl makes for a win.

I don't really care about the price. I found another guy who told me to look into these who has one and likes it. I know your not getting a hood without spending $450 before paint regardless. I'm just checking out my options and whats out there now. Back when I had my F150 there was two choices for hoods lol.

See that line that goes down the center of the cowl. I hate that. It looks like a cowl hood for a old 60's camaro or Chevy truck. Why couldn't it be smooth. Th
Though I still like it and I am considering it. I need a new hood here soon so I need to make up my mind.
Any other opinions on whats out there?

When I was looking for a cowl hood awhile back I looked at HO Fibertrends. I heard nothing but great things about the fitment/quality and they had a good prices. I was looking at the 2.5".

I have seen their 4" in person and its really nice quality, but that 4" is huge!
I wonder what the weight difference is between stock and each one. I would love to know that.

But does anyone know the weight of a stock 99-04 mustang hood with the scoop?
Ok I just found out the stock 01-04 hood with scoop is 43lbs. So I would drop almost 20lbs. with a hood swap and have a cowl hood. That's a win/win for me!

I looked at cowl hoods forever before I finally just got a Mach 1 instead because a good deal came around. Cowl hoods look great on our cars, gives them such an american sports look. Here are some pics of the 3" one from TruFiber.com which I was really really considering. I couldn't decide between this one or the 2.5 from H.O.Fibertrends.com.

I think this pic on HOfibertrends page sold me.
Who is it here that has hood pins with metal lines that connect the pins to the car and go into the front grill opening? That setup is awesome!

Umm.... It's one of the red V6's.. "Must See" I think..

I like that hood and I called Kaenan to see if I could stop by and get one. But with no call backs I got pissed.
I bought a hood though, so now everyone has to wait for it to be painted.
