what most poeple call a 2 1/2" or 3" is good imo

im short so i dont feel like having to look over it. get a good brand, im partial to cervini.

3 best.... cervini, harwood, HO fibretrends

heres my 2 1/2" cervini (this pic was originally about my pup) you can see how flat cervini 'glas is. what you save on a cheap hood, you will pay double later to fix all the waves and make it fit good.

Check out this one...

...I'm planning on buying it in May if all goes according to plan. It's a 3.25 wide cowl, and like Cervini's, the quality is top notch...virtually ready to paint right out of the box!
