my Hardwood came with all the holes and bolts to remount the factory
safety catch.

everything transfered over, mine latches and lifts just like a factory hood.

My 4" Hardwood hood.

wanted 2.5" myself but needed 4 to clear engine upgrade.

forward visibilty sucks but shouldnt be too big a prob after i get used to it.



4 inch cant be that bad, i see around a 6 inch one fine.

i think 4' looks kinda silly... unless you need the clearence. 2.5 looks awesome.

weather or not its a lift off shouldnt affect your wipers, since their back on the seperate cowl panel.

I can only speak for the hoods that I've painted and installed which include Cervini, Harwood, Design Concepts, H.O. Fibertrends and Maier Racing.
