best looking cowl hood

Re: best looking cowl hood
I just ordered this hood back in late November. It's manufactured from SMC plastic rather than fiberglass, and weighs just 38 pounds.There's supposed to be ZERO prep requirement when painting, so if you are having your hood painted by a pro, consider the fact that most aftermarket hoods will require 4 to 12 hours of labor to smooth out the ripples. At $42 an hour, you can see that the hidden cost is $168 to $504 by using a cheaper hood.

Re: best looking cowl hood
I installed a Harwood 2" cowl ind. hood on my Z. It looks good overall from 10 feet, it even looks badass from behind the wheel but, when you look at it up close the fit and finish sucks. The gaps at the fenders are too wide (hood is a touch too narrow) and it sits a tad too high on the left side. Harwood is a race car company and I don't believe they pay as much attention to the small details. Also at high speed a good bit of hood shake at the front corners. I guess I am going to need to install hood pins to control that. If I had it to do again I would go with Cervini's or maybe since it is mostly a street ride a Goodmark steel with cowl induction would be nice. Hell the cowl induction is not used anyway. Good clearance if I buy a Holley Stealth Ram. If not I may just go back to a factory blister hood.
