Default Cervinis lift off hoods

Does anyone know if the cervini lift off hoods have the same quality as there bolt on hoods? I'd like to pick up there cowl hood but I'm not sure if the quality is the same.

IMO the bolt ons are safer convenient and more relaible. Cervini makes a great hood either way though, but Ive heard stories about lift offs flying off at the strip or on the highway.

dunno??? but i think a bolt on is better. with the lift off you need two people to take it off all the time.

They do fly off. Just watch this video. It's one of my favorites.
