just letting everyone know that ABC exclusive has nice stuff.

i see hood threads pop up all the time and people are always asking about quality and stuff. just figured i would give some feed backon mine. 3" cowl btw. i only invested about 1 hour into making this hood fit perfect. it came packaged well and in great shape. and from what ive seen its acutally supported better than a cervini's hood i have in my shop.

its a nice piece.

1 hour making it fit perfect? I never bought an aftermarket hood, but shouldnt it fit perfect once you bolt it on? lol

none of them fit perfect. they all have some flaws. the fitment on this was actually better than the cervini's mach 1 hood i have. we put it on my cousins vert and the sides where to thick and needed heavy sanding.

and i spent most of the hour sanding it perfectly smooth and knocking down the shapr edges on it.

nope , there are a few subtle differences between the stocker and an abc hood . Just takes some minor adjusting to get the gaps right and the locking mechanism to line up .

yea the hinges on foxs are kinda a bad design. way too much free play and messin with to fit perfect. ABC is nice stuff but Cervinis finish and straightness gets my vote. They are straight as an arrow.
