I am in need of a hood, and I dont really want a stock hood. I know some of the ebay hoods are junk like the company from cincy but are all the cheap hoods bad? I know you get what you pay for and all that but there is no way I will have 5-6 hundos to throw at a hood anytime soon. There is a company in ontario that has them for 150 plus shipping, are they just as bad? I can get a stock hood for $100 right now locally so if I cant get a quality hood cheap I will just get the stocker, but man those svo hoods look pretty bad ass. Anybody have any experience with the ontario company?

It scares me because right in the listing they say that they will all need adjusting and grinding and filling and all sorts of crap, and then it even says "just because you OR A COUPLE SHOPS cant get it to fit doesnt mean its defective". Now I would have to say that if I took it to a shop and they couldnt get it to work then in my book it is defective, but who knows?

Cervini and i think (don't quote me) harwood are the only ones to buy.
You pay more, but you get more.

I'd rather run a stock hood than mess around with a cheap aftermarket hood. You get what you pay for, and the hood is usually the part of the car everyone sees first.

ANytime anyone posts a car with bad hood alighment or gaps, everyone notices right away.

Besides...stock hood looks better than the SVO hood anyway.

Whoever made the factory 1995 cobra R hoods is the way to go. Ive heard it was a company called HO tech but not positive anymore. My memory fails me (i bought one in 1995). It has steel imbedded into the latch area and bolt area for the striker plate and bolts to grab to. The latch wont tear up the hood! It was the best quality fiberglass component ive ever seen. If they have other hoods that are of that quality, i would definitly buy one again.

I can tell you no matter who you buy any body part from it's going to need work to make it fit like a factory item, whether it's fenders, ground effects, hoods, or bumpers they will all need work to look perfect. I own a cervini's cobra rear bumper, an HO fibertrends 3" cowl hood, abc exclusive stalker front bumper, and reproduction front fenders.
