Hi,

Looking into getting a fiberglass hood for my 01 stang. I have doing a search and have run across some horror stories of certain companies.
I was looking into HO Fibertrends, how is there quality. I don't mind paying extra as long as the quality is there.


Matt :****:

 

Im also looking for one which companies have you heard are bad?

 

I would get the Steeda Cowl Induction if it were , Ive also heard that teh Cervinis one has a very good fit

 

Cervinis, Steeda, Harwood, or Kaenan.

 

Thats the order to go by.

 

I agree with the above. Stay away from Cincinnati concepts though...

 

i had a cervinis that was really nice. i like the look of the harwood though

 

I have the Steeda cowl hood.....made by Kaenan (it's stamped in the glass on the bottom side) . Nice fit and finish...my paint/body man had no problems.

 

Turned out great Jay, can't wait to see it in person.

 

Thanks Dean, hopefully we'll get together before NMRA's @ BG :hello2:

Id love to see more pictures of that hood. I wanted the Harwood 3" cowl before, but that hood looks pretty good. Any idea how much it weighs, does it require hood pins?

 

I went there but site not up http://www.kaenen.com/

 

My dad lives in Melbourne FLorida...Mabey I should go live with him...Colorado Sucks...does anyone know how much for painting a hood

 

Here's the only other pic I got right now...........

What about my other questions? Also, is this the right part # 307-0099?

 

Man it looks like you have a dish on your trunk.

 

Here you go I fixed it for you.

Look at them, and then call, they might have some new stuff... VERY reputable...

 

Dont see any pics of hoods?

 

H.O fibertrends quality is Top Notch. They have a limited selection though...It's Cobra R hood or nothing else.

When I change to 03/04 Cobra heads and new Intake manifold I'll require at least a 2 1/2" Hood to achieve acceptable clearence. I will be going with a (company to remain nameless until I possessone) Carbon Fiber 2000 Cobra R hood with a 2.5" Cowl. It's gonna cost a pretty penny (~$600 shipped) But it'll be damn worth it. And the hood only weights 11 lbs.

i put a Cervini stalker ram air hood on my 02. It fit better than the oe factory hood, and looks better. Be advised that they recommend adding the matching stalker bumper cover to get the best fit between the hood and bumper.

Attached is a pic of my car - hope this helps.

I purchased my hood. Its carbon Fiber heat extractor and its similar to Saleen but has a 4" rise. It has 2 vents on top as well as the one in the middle.
