Interested in a Harwood hood but had some q's...

I was just wondering what were ppl's opinions on Harwood hoods... ie fitment, quality, price, etc. I was interested in getting the harwood 2.5" cowl hood I think it looks great. Also for those that have this hood, does it fit good with stock hardware and how is the visibility after the hood is installed?

Thanks in advance.

Fitment was better than expected...the stock hardware fit perfectly. I believe the only triming was around the huge wiper arms on these cars, LOL
I also like the smooth finish of the underside as well.

From what I have read and seen, one of the best hoods out there, with little to none negative feedback...

It's plenty easy to see over. I was used to it by the end of the first ride.


I don't have any great pictures of mine yet.

Mine doesn't vibrate at all. As long as everything is tight and the bump stoppers are adjusted correctly I don't see why it would.

Here's from inside the car. I took it at about eye level so that's what I see looking out.

Actually the second picture you posted of the silver camaro is of the VFN sunoco hood for LT1's if I'm not mistaken... I was actually hesitating between that hood and the harwood, but I think the harwood hood looks better. The green camaro is just

Hey JAB, did you cut the cowl opening up yourself before paint? Mine is still as it was out of the box and I've been told I should open it up. I have cut holes on the inside part to make a cowl vent for the engine bay but am stil wondering if I should cut the outside part as well.
