I currently have a cobra "R" cinnci hood and it's ugly and lines up like my moms butt on a saturday night. I'm going to a 4" cowl due to my super charger setup (carb). I have 3" rise now and I figure 4" will put me in the clear, plus it's not insanely huge. Who sells a good 4" cowl that will line up great? I DO NOT want a 2" gap or any gap between my bumper and hood and I want it to line up on the fenders near perfect. Any suggestions?

I have a Cobra R on my 90' from Cervini, and it looks great and lines up well. From experience, I've recieved what I paid for. Good luck....

P.S. You really like those tall cowls, or do you not have a choice cause' of the blower?

Yeah, that's where I got my Stalker front bumper, but I don't think they sell a 4" cowl.

Harwood does make VERY GOOD quality. Although you have to sand it to fit it but you can fit it perfect to your car and the molds are very clean!

I had the 2 1/2" hood on my old GT. Here's a couple shots.

cervinis and harwood are the best all though I bought a 2-3/4" from mustangs unlimited and it is a very top of the line hood as well.

Where did you get that hood? Looks good. by fitting, you mean sanding it? Do you add glass to fit the gap?

Only cowl hood i'll ever buy...i've ran 3 of them. Top notch quality...i'll even say as good/better than cervini(which i've had a couple of their R hoods for foxes and wasn't too impressed considering all the hype over the years).

They designed the original 95 R hood.

Any chance there will be a gap on my stalker with a 4" cowl? IF so, you can glass it in?

$345 for a hood? Isn't that quite insane?

345 for a hood is not that bad of a price for a quality hood. Look in MMFF....Cervini's was 399. they bumped their prices....400 is about the going rate for a decent hood.

go cervinis. Quality stuff. 200 for lift off. 400 for latch on. Either one works. I'd rather the latch but I'm cheap and got pin on.

Thanks man you were right. I gave them a call. I be driving there since I live in ohio and save the $$ on shipping. Sounds like a nice guy. Sounds like I won't have to modify the hood.
