Looking for a new look

well, due to clearance issues, I'm in the market for a new hood. Looking to go with a 3" - 3.5" cowl hood. Anyone know who makes one? I see steeda sells a 3" cowl...is this made by kaenen? I don't want any junk

that sucks but at the same time itll look soo sweet!

thanks

not really cost effective, but i might go with the 4" cervinis

You might not need 4" i did a 408 thought i needed 4" but only really needed 2".

my 2.5" cowl does not currently clear. i HIGHLY doubt a 2" cowl would clear...

But it's ugly meow

Honestly though, what about the Cobra R hood? Don't those go to 3"?

1991vert · Mar 2, 2008

it touches now, and when the motor torques it would nail the hood. i dont think 3" would do it. ugh, i guess i will bite the bullet and get the 4". im kind of happy to get a new hood, but i'm kind of upset i have to spend $500 on it

check website classifieds for used hoods and keep your fingers crossed for a matching color

www.mustanghoods.net has em cheap and alot of selection, i heard they are good, i was going to get them but ended up finding a 4" cervinis for $100 so went that route

isnt champion the same company as an old one that went out of business? cincinatti composites?

iwashmycar · Mar 4, 2008

you could put one of those old gt scoops on a 3" and cut it out

i know this isnt a 3" tho...

i like his car. i need the clearance towards the front though, so i'm hoping going with a 4" it will give me some more room towards the nose

How about some different motor mounts? Thats alot cheaper then buying a new hood and getting it painted, not to mention the fact anything larger then a 2-2.5" cowl looks completely retarded. Well IMHO!

iwashmycar · Mar 4, 2008

sounds cheaper

1991vert · Mar 4, 2008

i have convertible mounts in the car as it is. the oil pan looks like it's barely touching the steering rack so it will have to be shimmed up.

Doesn't the heat extractor hood from Cervini's have a lot more clearance at the front of the hood?

where it kind of slopes down and has the vents is where i need it. im not too fond of it either
