I'm looking for a new hood for my cobra and I've decided on the cobra r style since my car is white and I really like how the R looks. But before I blow the money, I have two questions (and I know that brining up this subject is like beating a dead horse):

1) The cervini hood gets really good review for fit and finish, but do they emboss their name in the bottom of the hood? I know I've seen this on one of their other hoods at a car show and it kind of turned me off. I'm not going to pay $500 to advertise any company's name on my car. (unless they give it to me for free haha)

2) Supposedly H.O. Fibertrends was the OEM supplier of the R-hood to Ford. I know it doen't have an underside liner, but how's the quality compared to Cervini? Better, worse, same???? It's significantly less expensive so I'm leaning toward their hood.

I despise body work and want to buy a hood that will bolt right up with out any triming or extensive sanding, other than regular body surface prep. I would appreciate any input you might have. Thanks, wihtecobra95

Hi TurboGT,

Thanks for the answer. Which hood is on your car? How did it fit? Are you happy with it? It looks good from what I can tell from the photo.

Thanks, Mike

If you want no problems at all, get Cervinis.

cervinis is nothing short of perfection. anything they make is top quality and if there is a problem, let them know and they'll make sure they fix it

My Cervini fit perfect. If you are that worried about the logo, you can have the body shop sand if off and finish it, no free advertisement for them.

HO Fibertrends.... Like said its the original maker of the hood, I've had one, friends have had them. They bolt on and I feel safer with it compared to others due to original hood latch setup...
