So I need a 4" cowl for my stang and my dad's buddy recommended Glasstek for a cowl hood because he has one on his 65 malibu. I was just wondering if anyone here has one and how its quality was compared to cervinis. Because I could save about 200 dollars if I went with Glasstek (including shipping charges).

thanks!

Cervinis is good, and Kaenan is a great company too, but both are $$. The truth with Fiberglass stuff is you usually get what you pay for. Pay $200 less and your probably going to get a $200 less product.

thanks everyone, but what I meant about the 200 less is that the glasstek hood is about 100 less and I can save about 100 in shipping because cervini's is far away from me. But I understand your point.

In that case, maybe do a search on some of the forums for glasstek. I have never heard of them, so cant comment, but fro what I have seen if your talking cheap, cheap fiberglass hoods, your going to get a sub par hood!

kk so here you go... the breakdown...
Glasstek 4" Cowl... 390
Cervini's 4" Cowl... 459

60 bucks for a known well made product... worth it?
that's your call...

Check out the hoods that H.O. Fibertrends has:

http://www.hofibertrends.com/87-93 parts page.htm

I have never heard anyone speak ill of their quality.

I will be buying the 4'' hood for my '01.

The people here would ask for pics of your mom, sister, and dog naked... and a lot of them are too young to even look at naked girls legally, so go figure that one out!

Good luck with the hood, post pics when you get it!

I second the vote for Harwood. Planning to plop a pin-on 2.5" cowl of theirs onto mine, come spring/summer of next year.

haha man must be some weird people on here, I normally stay in 5.0 tech and S197 forums here, but I figured this was a talk question so anyways.

I'll definitely post pics up when I get it. I can't wait to drive this car, its been over a year and I have to wait until the snow clears!

You wont be disapointed with cervinis, I have no expirence with any hoods, but Id wait a few extra weeks to get an extra few paychecks to pick up a cervinis, the way I see it is, cervinis is the **** nit, you will have no problems with fit, quality, etc. gauranteed, any other company and your taking a chance. Thats just how I see it, get pics when its on!

I see it the same way, but I just wanted to see. Yeah I can't wait to see how the hood will look, I also just got some ROH ZS Racing wheels that will soon have drag radials on the rear and I'm not sure what on the front.

Then I plan on getting a procharger in a little over a year along with a Baer brake kit.
