All depends on the price you're willing to pay. Cervini's is almost always recommended as a big number one in quality, but H.O. Fibertrends is supposed to be right there as well. They were the supplier to Ford for the 95 Cobra R hood.

As far as which hood to get thats up to you and what you like better. Cervini's is the most expensive but their quality is top notch. Cobra Designs and ABC Exclusive are others that are good and not as expensive.

if a kaenen hood does not fit your car, your car has been wrecked.

You get what you pay for.. Cervini's hands down.. ABC's are wavy and 1/2 inch too short to match up with the tips of the fenders..

True story! Mine isn't wavy, but i have about 3/8" worth of fender washers between the hood and the hood hinge on both sides of the car to raise it up so it matches the fender height.

I got a pin on from HO Fibertrends. Best Hood I have seen. It came so completely smooth...it was almost painful to scuff it up to paint it. Very reasonable price too.

I cant say what the fit is because the race weight hoods are a little oversize and I had to sand down the edges and stuff to fit my car.

Quality is top notch though!
