Default HO Fibertrends cowl hood?

Is anyone running one of these cowl hoods? If so can you tell me about the fit and finish? Also, if you have any pics of it on the car that would be great.

Thanks!

Well yes I do. Ok, so talk to me about the hood. Quality, hardware, fit and finish.

My painter told me it was the best hood he's worked on and it was fitted and prepped in 20 minutes.

I couldn't be happier. One thing you should also know, the underside is "Semi" finished. Meaning, although it's smooth, it doesn't have the same coating as the top side.

It gets a solid "A" from me and I've bought many many FG hoods.

Cool. So can you paint the underside or will it have to be prepped first? Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I know what I am getting into.

Was the stock hood latch and hinges able to be used?

HO FIBERTRENDS is the company that made the Original Cobra R hood for Ford.
