Looking to get there 4" cobra r boss for my 95 GT. Cervinis dont have the 4" cobra r boss

I have never heard anything bad about Cervini's. I know people who have bought them and they fit great. They are high, but i dont think you will have to worry about it not fitting right.

i personally dont like how the underpart of the cervini hoods look with the functional ram intake. the plastic looks cheap and ugly. i have never compared the underside to any other brand so i could not tell u if it is good or not.

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.

You can't go wrong with Cervinis products. My hood was flawless and fit just perfect.

Whatever you do don't buy a champion hood. That company has changed its names about 4 times because people stop buying there hoods because quality is so bad. I have a champion hood on my 86 and I had to trim all the edges, add a ton of filler to the top of the hood to get all the uneven spots out. There was a lot of pits in the hood too that needed to be filled. The hood ended up spider cracking in a lot spots. When I bought it unpainted it had spots that were so thin they were transparent.I could keepgoing...

HO fibertrends has good quality hoods as does harwood. I have a design concepts lift off hood and its good quality, I've never seen or known anyone with there bolt on hoods though.
