My opinion ABC Exclusive is the way to go. And it's strictly my opinion.

Why... because my Cervini Stalker front bumper cover is a POS and I am not the only person having problems with the fitment and quality of the stalker cover. I refuse to buy another Cervini product for 1 simple reason; way over priced for the quality you get.

I ordered my stalker bumper cover from Cervini the exact same day I ordered my Cobra R hood from ABC Exclusive. Cervini charged almost twice as much for shipping as ABC did, ABC called me 3 times to tell me when my order would be shipped, not once did I get a call from Cervini as to when my order would be shipped. I received my ABC Cobra R hood 7 days after I placed the order; it took Cervini’s 15 days.
The guy who painted my car said the ABC hood was a easy prep job because of very little flaws, but he wasn't that impressed with the Cervini bumper cover is what he told me.
Maybe/ hopefully the Cervini hoods are a better quality.

My Cervini is almost flawless. Have had it for years and it painted up real nice and looks as good and fits as good as the original metal hood. My only beef is that it does go out of adjustment pretty easy and when it does it does not lock shut. I put on hood pins just to make sure it dont fly open to the safety lock like it did twice before I put the hood pins on.

I went with Champion Fiberglass. Not as nice as Cervinis, but not as expensive either. Turned out nice. Sorry, the only pic I have right now is while it was in paint.

It depends on the car! If it is a really nice car I would get a Cervinis www.cervinis .com $459.00 + Boxing and shipping

If you have a daily driver or a drag car go with Champion www.championfiberglassproducts.com $270 + Boxing and shipping

Champion hoods are not as nice as a Cervinis but if you dont have a show car or a real nice car they work fine and save you some money
