Yes Cervini is pricey, but i dont think you will get a better hood. I jut recently bought a hood from them and it fit just as good or better than my stock hood. I thought it was well worth the little extra money.

RE: HOOD HELP
Yea, Ive heard that harwood was good also but I have a 4' cowl from them and it fits like garbage. Im not sure if it was my fenders though because my car was hit in the front and everything was out of wack. So it could be either or but I would go with a Cervinis. The last thing you want to do is buy some off brand hood and spend like 300 instead of 450 and have it fit like crap. Than it will look like crap and it will just be a big waste of money. Go with Cervinis. Do it right.

RE: HOOD HELP
Well I paid something like 510 for my hood, cant recall shipping, i also got a saleen body kit with it so it would have been more anyway. But here is 2 pics of my hood from yesterday after painting. And one right out of the box.

RE: HOOD HELP
Shipping is where you get killed on these hoods. Most companies have an arrangement set up with a frieght company cause they are just to big to go ground with anyone else. Which means they have to be sent air or frieght. Both are expensive. Shipping to a business is about 30 to 50 bucks cheaper though so if you have a friend at a shop it will save yo some money. Cervini is your safest bet. The quality is the best. They weigh almost as much as the factory ones! That tells you how sturdy the fiberglass is. I'd spend the extra $100 bucks its going to cost you and go with a winner. Or be patient and look through ebay everyday you'll find one eventually. I did for 2 bills.
