Default RE: Looking to get a new hood

I have seen several of Champions bolt on hoods on my friends cars and they all looked good. They did take a little more prep work from what they say but there 1/2 the price of Cervinis and they are 1 hour away from me. I want the 4" cobra R and I was just wondering if anyone else with a little better quaility made it for the 95. I also agree that Cervinis makes a nice hood but they dont make the one I want.

stick with cervini or ho fibertrends. they have the best fit and finish of any hood on the market. ho fibertrends are a little less expensive than cervini. i bought a 3 in. from 'em, fits great.

cervinis is the best. i have 3 of their hoods and i have no problems with them not fitting plus they are EXTREMELY STRONG. yes the ram air looks like sh*t underneith but they want u to buy the ram air kit to cover it. if u dont like it, dont buy it. but i highly recommend cervivis. and yes they are expensive but quality costs money.
looks like from the avitar that ur in the market for a hood too

Cervinis is one of the best companies to buy from... we have their C series body kit on my mom's 05 GT and it fit flawlessly, and still looks good, and the urethane is extremely strong.... (mom hita pothole and chipped some paint off the edge of it.... not damage to the plastic...

hope the hood on my 91 is a cervinis[8D]

Well I drove up to Champions shop with no hood on my carand put the hood on there. Doug at Championhelped me line it up and get it bolted down. It fit pretty good. The cost was only $270.00. This is the hood I got from them http://www.championfiberglassproduct...at=0&pos=4 They have a ton of hoods laying around.

I will post pics on my car when painted!

And you're saying this from experience ... or hear say might I ask??

Off subject; but you know that's exactly what i heard aboutCervini'sStalker bumper cover also.. and it's the biggest pile of Sh=t I've ever spent my money on. And for that reason I wouldn't buy another product from Cervini.

I also boughtaABC Exclusive hood (Cobra R) the painter who painted my car commented how very little prep work was needed and how well the hood fit, and the price saving between the Cervini and the ABC Exclusive hood was exactly what you're saying.
