sorry, no recent new pics. car is still on jack stands.

It should be done in about 2 weeks, and I plan on paying a detailing company to work the car over, and try to restore the paint a bit. its not bad, just has some swirls. and im OCD, so they drive me bonkers.

but when thats all done, I plan on taking some nice pictures out in the sun, instead of in my garage. when I get thouse, I will post them up


Boss Inc makes great hoods, much better then anything I've seen on other cars. Plus they come black, so you don't have to paint them strait away, or at all if you dont want to. I plan on leaving mine as is for a while until I plan on what im going to do for paint.

thanks guys for all the complements. the finish on the hood was great. i was so happy with the fit ment. and that is was black was a plus drove it like that for a couple months before i got it painted and wasnt and eye sore. any fiberglass hood will have some defects some worse then others. boss advertised that they reduce prep time for paint. and thats true. i had only one small wave in the rear of the hood prep for paint was and hour at most. heres a side view of the hood after paint

Is that the Boss Inc hood or just another brand Cobra R? If it is I see some inconsistencies in their products..

Cool, can't wait to see it when it's done! I'll be buying a Boss Inc hood 100% for sure!

No, that's another brand of Cobra R hood. Maybe Cervini's. But dayum that is a NICE looking car!

I kinda like 302's but when it comes to the Cobra R, I am just not a fan of the rounded edges. It makes it look like a huge bubble in the hood. I like the lines the other Cobra R's have.

+1

Boss inc hoods are made like that for maximum room under the hood, function.

but the Cobra R to me just doesn't match the "box" look of the foxbody. Thats why i went with the Cowl. The cobra R is a little more unique, but not aggressive enough for me.

I love my hood. looks mean as hell
