Alright everyone ... I am stuck on deciding whether i want a cobra r hood or a 2.5 inch cowl hood .. Right now i have a mach 1 hood and i am NOT at all a fan of it ... to me it really doesnt matter which one i end up with ... pretty much which ever one i can get cheaper ... I was gonna go with a cobra r because i had a guy willing to sell it fo 150 and i was to pick it up .. but someone offered him more so no cobra hood ... anyways, what are your guys thoughts on the matter, which one looks better and where is the best place, besides cervinis, to get them? It is only a matter of looks right now as my intake is still stock, so no issue there... i just hate the look of the mach 1 ... Thanks in advance everyone!

Its a 90 gt .. as soon as the weather breaks its going to be lowered and getting painted, hopefully all navy blue, but right now its like a twilight blue and titanium on the bottom, and it has a saleen wing ... chrome cobra's ... hmm nothing really special ...

Yea i have looked on that sit before, the price is right but they kill you on shipping, just like anywhere else. I am trying to find someone or somewhere close where i can pick it up. Thanks everyone so far, keep the votes comin!

I just used abc exclusive for my hood, fiberglass trunk and saleen wing, and shipping was only $150 for all 3 items to south Florida. I think that is pretty reasonable, and I got it quick.

Cowl hood, Cobra Rs are to rounded for the foxes. I cant stand the way cobra Rs look.

Same here.

Old hood that came with the car.


Bought new cervinis cowl hood and had it painted to match.


Cobra r was getting on my nerves, too round.

Agreed. Cobra R hoods look like crap on any fox imo. Doesn't flow with anything on the car.
