Would like your opinion.

Sorry to plague everyone with a common question, however I rarely make threads nor ask stupid questions.

My cars going in for a makeover, and I cant decide between a 1.5" or 2.5" cowl, it will be a Cervinis.

Also, anyone ever used the 50resto brand Cobra insert? Good quality/fitment?

I'm going for the sleek and sexy look, it will be repainted same color with a shaved antenna, trunk emblems and upgraded to 17" pony r's.

Give me your thoughts, Merry Christmas, all.

What will you have for a wing & ground effects? IMO, that makes all the difference on how large to go.

 

[ttop88]

I vote 1.5" regardless of wind or gfx. It just seems to always look cleaner.

I'd leave the hood alone personally; both those notches are sweet the way they are. But if you are definitely buying a hood, go 1.5".

No wing, no ground effects.

Another vote for the 1.5" I think "subtle" is the name of the game with what you're doing. The Pony Rs and a small cowl give it a stock look to the undiscerning eye. This is EXACTLY what i'd like to do to my car when I get into it. Good luck with the work.

If you do do a hood, go with the 1.5" I have a cobra grille insert...not from 5.0 Resto, it's from Cal-Mustang and it was only $50! http://www.calmuscleparts.com/store/1987-1993-COBRA-GRILLE-INSERT-CORRAL-HORSE-C2492.aspx It's probably the same...but good quality none the less.

 

[ryan218]

go with 1.5" cowl!

 

[fastford91]

COBRA R hood i love mine! looks mean when your the car infront and looking at it in the rearview! makes you wanna move over and let me by! lol James

 

[blackened88lx]

Stock hood fa sho. But, if you must adorn your Mustang with a Chevrolet hood, the 1.5" would be nice and subtle.

I used a 50 resto cobra grill insert on the red vert it fit nice but the cervinis is better!

 

[rigamaroles]

I dont mind spending the cash on cervinis, its going to be done professionally through and through, however I wanted to get everything from 50resto to save on shipping, and I couldnt find the grill in their catalogue.

I dont mind the stock hood, but I wanted something a bit more. No other hoods will be considered other than a small cowl. I dont think any other hood looks good on a notch other than the heat extractor and thats not the look I'm going for.

 

[rigamaroles]

Anyone got a couple convincing pics of a 1.5" cowl? I bought a new computer and all my images are on the old one. (yes, I realise theres a thread of nicest foxes, but I dont feel like searching through all of it. If you have em and dont mind posting them up, it would be appreciated.)

 

[5.0Droptop]

1.5 hood is a waste in my eyes. Go 2.5 or leave it stock.

 

[iwashmycar]

2.5

 

[just4bob50]

The 1.5 is so sublte its not worth doing. Why spend 500 for a hood that is damn near stock. I like the stock hood and if my Victor intake clears it im keeping it, but if it doesnt I will be getting the Cervinis 2.5 cowl. Also the Cervinis hoods arent much lighter than the stock one either. H.O.Fibertrends has good light hoods.

 

[Chuckman]

ive got an 1.5" hood on my gt (abc exclusive instead of cervinis though)
pics:

 

[91 HATCH]

i would spend it on real parts instead of another 1.5" or 2.5" hood height unless your motor hits the hood and you cant put it back on to drive it

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

1.5 hood is a waste in my eyes. Go 2.5 or leave it stock.

Yeah 1.5 is about an inch over stock...they don't look bad but i would get a 2.5 before i'd get a 1.5. Then again i'd probably get the heat extractor before i'd get a cowl too.
