I need a hood
Im getting my car's body redone soon and I need to get a new hood.
Ive decided on a Cobra R hood but I need to know which brands are good (quality, fit, finish, etc) and which are crap.
I know Cervini's is good but I dont want to pay their prices.
One of the hoods Im looking at is made by Champion Fiberglass. Ive seen some good things and some bad things about them though.
Im really trying to spend $400 or less on a hood.

When I bought mine from Cervini's, it was 359.00 they have gone up considerably. Quality is unsurpassed though.

RE: I need a hood
I made the mistake of spending less on a hood on my 86. I bought a hood from champion fiberglass for $230 I believe. The hood had thin spots, was uneven, didn't line up great and you couldn't use the factory latch with it even though they claimed you could. Within 2 months it started getting cracks in the fiber glass.
