I agree Stags. A sharp hood is a great appearance modification. I love the Cervini Ram Air hood. I don't know how I am going to afford it but it has to be done. I've been to countless websites in efforts to search for the right hood at the right price but I always question as to the availability of other resources to save money. Anyone have suggestions? Once again, I appreciate everyone's help.

as previously said cervinis makes the best hoods, but I personally would not do the pre-painted for two reasons. One being that a paint shop can match to the rest of the vehicle better, all cervinis can do is give you the straight brand new paint. I don't know how the aging of your paint is, but a local paint shop should be able to match the hood to the rest of the paint. The other reason I don't like pre-painted is UPS. I'm not a Fedex employee, but I hate how UPS ships things. I have yet to receive a box from UPS that was not damaged in some sort and even the most careful packing in the hands of UPS can come chipped or have some other problem

I'm just looking for an excuse to get a TruFiber Venom hood. If I were you, I'd go aftermarket.

The first hood Cervinis sent me was crushed by UPS
