cervinis is considered one of (if not THE) best aftermarket company for fiberglass parts. you will find very few complaints about them, but many praises. i have not personally purchased from them, but i have seen a few cars with thier parts installed. looked very nice. based on what i have read and seen, i personally would purchase from them.

I bought a Saleen whale tail replica from Cervini's "back in the day" for my 81 T-Top Coupe. The finish and build quality was fantastic. This was back in about 1997 but everything I've heard is that they're still #1.

Lookin good 5150, but I want to go the opposite way with mine...the raised cowl hood. I just love that style despite all these other great looking hoods.

I called Cervini's and they said no more cowl than a regular hood. The tech said if the regular hood barely fits this one wont.



...unless of course we were talking about the wrong hood. I said GT500 hood.

Does that thing have an actual ram air kit that can be added, like all the Cervini hoods?

It looks great!
