Based on recent experiences in customer service, and the closeness of the hoods, I say Cervinis FTW!!!!!!!!!!
Tell us what personal experiences you've had.......Oh yeah, NONE! You just flip flop like a fish out of water! If there's a bandwagon to be found, you'll be on it! Based on looks alone(not sponsorship), I like the look of the wider center section of the TF hood. Also, with the Cervini's, the cost is $300 additional on top of the hood cost for the functional ram air.

I got the TF through a dealer, had no problems at all and the quality is +10. The ram air works and it's included in the price.I'm sure the Cervini is excellent but the heat extractors were what sold me.

Trufiber looks better but then I'd never go with somebody who has bad customer service, that's the last thing you wanna deal with in case you got any installation problems or something so I say Cervini's

You bought a Ford even though they have had **** poor customer service with owners of the Powerstroke Diesel, which almost caused their bankruptcies due to buybacks!

I have both in stock and the quailty of both hoods are great. I keep hearing the problem with trufiber and I have had no problems. they look great with they are functional with out the purchase of the 250+ add on . One guys problem and everyone is on the bandwagon against Trufiber as far as customer service 3 days 10 hoods shipped from Trufiber, four hoods from Cervinis and they still working on it.

I thought somebody asked an opinion on a hood. Personaly I like the Cervinis I know someone that has there stuff and is well pleased I also like the lines a little better.

I didn't realize this was going to turn into a corporate press release.

Perhaps I should just be quite…..I may get bashed also…

You should get Va. Stang to chime in....[sm=badbadbad.gif]
Well, here we go. I ordered the TF hood because I liked it better. And it still had the heat extractors. The finish was good very, just A few waves and just a coupleof pin holes in the gel-coat. Overall a nice finish plus finished on the underside. Andthe ram air which is close to being centered over the air box.But it would need a warrantyIcould not get.
The Cervini hood is nice also but when I ordered the TF hoodCervini did not have it with the heat extractors. BUT, they found me one and a few more that a vendor still had in stock so I bought the Type IV with heat extractors. It will be here sometime today. I will test fit at home then take itthe bodyshop this week. Pics coming soon. Can't really comment on the fit and finish yet! But in few hours.........
