what do you guys think of abc exclusive hoods?

Dunno too much about em. Dad has a Cervini's 2" cowl on his 97 F350. And it truely WAS a bolt on deal. No fitment issues whatsoever, and it's nice and sturdy too. As I said, my Harwood is flimsy as hell, BUT it is a race hood, and it has came off the car and survived twice. So that should say something about them. You can see the place on the passenger side corner in my pics right next to the headlight. This was at about 90 mph when this happened.

You couldn'task for any better IMHO, and it's about half the price of the Cervini.
I took it out of the packaging put in on the carto make sure everything lined up (fit perfectly) and then I sent it to the painters. The painter commented how smooth thehood was and what little prep work it took to get ready for paint.

I've run into the same problem with Cervini's only it was my Stalker front bumper cover.
They (Cervini) told me that they had never heard of one of there stalkerpulling like that and it would be something that they would need to check into and get back to me on.

3 months later I called them back because they never called me and I asked what there findings were, they said they would call me as soon as they found out something. That was 3 yrs ago and I still haven't heard a word.
Like you that just ended my dealings with Cervini forever!

I Love my Cervinis! The fit is great and the quality is amazing! Especially the finished under side! It will be even better when I get around to painting it! Not to be a dick or anything nothsa, but was the installation on your side scoops done properly? Were they 2-side taped on? if the surface wasn't properly prepared things like that can happen. It does not mean that the product was at fault! Just like people who have their hoods fly open! It is not the manufacturers fault! I an completely happy with my Cervivis, and would recomend them to anyone!

And believe me I'm not trying to be a dick either.
But when you pay $525+ the shipping cost of $150, and then addanother $150 to have it prepped and painted, wouldn't youat leastexpect the manufacture such asCervini toreturn your call if your willing to call them and say that you have a problem with there product and not pass it off like there is nothing wrong with there product?
Think about it ifyou would: you paid $675for there productand they (Cervini's)won'tcall you back in a reasonable amount of time(and I'mthinking 3 yrsis reasonable time ) would you buy fromthat company again?

I've got pics to back up everything I've said about Cervini's and there stalker and if you want to see them just ask.
Maybe there hoods aregoodquality.......... or just maybeppl say they are because that's what they've read. But in my case I wouldn't own one of there hoods after my experience withCerviniand there stalker bumper cover.
Oh.......... and if you want to know how arrogantCervini's is about there parts just read this:

Yeah, they should have called you and at least got some info. No doubt. My comments wereintended for the side scoop guy. I was assuming they were attached with tape and if that is not prepped properly will not adhere well. By the way what exactly was the issue with the stalker?

ALMOST STOCK

6 months after the car was painted the Cervini Stalker started pulling inward like this .


2 months later it had pulled so much that it actually started pushing the hood upward

And the prep instructions from Cervini were followed to the T but the painter.
I still have those instruction if you'd like to see them?

Wow bro! That totally sucks! Looks pretty nasty. Is that a urethane piece? their covers aren't fiberglass are they? I can't even make an educated guess on that one due to the fact that I have little to no experience with urethane products. Looke like maybe someone forgot to add the stabilizer to that batch or something! How did it fit before it started to shrink?
