Hood

I have bought from this company ONCE. Will never do business with again. I bought a "street heat" Cowl like the one linked below. It took them 29 days to get it to me. The cowl arrived wraped in a thin piece of cardboard only. It was absolutely the worst packaging for a fiberglass piece that I have ever saw. It had a chip out of it that I had repaired by the body shop. Was told that I should have bought shipping insurance. When I explained that UPS insures the item for free if its less than $100.00, I was told that I should file a claim with UPS. I told them that the lousy packaging was what caused the damage, and I didn't feel right charging UPS for his negligence. After I had it painted and bolted it on, I discovered that I couldn't open my Ram Air hood. Check out the picture in the link, it clearly shows a hood that looks like a Ram Air hood. When I tried to open my hood, the hood would hit the cowl panel and the hood could only be opened about a foot before they made contact. I emailed the guy about his return policy and he expected me to pay to have it shipped back. When i asked how he opened the hood in the picture, he said that the hood in the picture was a pin-on hood not a hinged hood. When I told him that I didn't think I should have to pay return shipping fees, he told me to call him so we could discuss it, but he has no toll-free number and expected me to pay the long distance bill. I offered to let him call my toll free number at work but he never has. THIS COMPANY IS A TOTAL RIP-OFF. Look at a CERVINIV's hood. I have had one for two years, It arrived flawless and was a perfect fit right out of the box.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33646&item=2456094219

I have been saving up for the Cervinis 1.5'' Ram Air Hood, and I see in your avatar that that is the hood, or it is a Stormin' Norman. I have really been saving up ($5.65 an hour really SUCKS ) and I was wondering how you really feel about the hood. I heard there is no saftly latch, and that the kit to make the hood functional won't clear the intake. I read the reviews on StangNet here

biggest problem is rain with those things, but most have some sort of water drain method.

The one in my avatar is the stormin norman hood, I have no problems with rain at all. The water that does get inside the engine compartment is a very small amount. I did not buy the ram air kit that goes under the hood. The hood looks flawless. the underside is finished and looks as good as the outside. I have a cobra intake with a one onch spacer and I needed the stormin normans extra clearance. I highly recommend Cervinis. The hood worked with the original latch and safety catch. I accidently left the hood opened one day and was running ahout 45 before I noticed it, The safety worked perfect and the hood was not damaged at all.

As long as water doesn't go past the air filter, nothing will happen right? Some water running into the engine compartment won't destroy anything mechanical...right?


Alright, that's good to hear! I was afraid the damn hood would be ripped off the first time I would go on the highway lol.

My hood fit perfectly the first time, latches securely and does not move or shake at all. I do not have hood pins, never saw a reason to use them. The Cervinis is no different than a stock hood, I think its all in how you install them.

Agree. I have a cobra r from cervinis on my 92. Perfect fit and no shaking at high speeds. No hood pins needed either. Well worth the money. Very nice underside as well.
