Default Aftermarket Hoods

Anyone have any suggestions on a good aftermarket hood that isn't going to require too much work to fit right. I don't want to use hood pins. Been looking around just don't know a whole lot as I have never purchased an aftermarket hood.I likethe 2000 style cobra R hood and also the heat extractor. Need at least 2" cowl....don't know how much of a cowl the heat extractor hood has for 94-98 stangs.

Cervini's or Harwood, not sure if Harwood makes what you are looking for but their fitment is excellent. You pay top dollar for either of these brands but you get what you pay for, I have a Cervini's Cobra R hood on my Fox.

Have to go with the crowd on this one. I have a 2.5" Cervini's cowl hood on my 88 fox. Great fitment, great product. Well worth the money.

Nothing wrong ABC Exclusive, and about half the price of Cervini.

I needed a cowl as well so I went with Harwood Cobra R. I had to return it since the cowl had a brace on the underside of the hood that would not clear the upper intake. Basically the Harwood Cowl is not functional, just for looks. I swapped it for the Ford Racing Cobra R hood and it fits great.
