i am trying to decide on what hood to purchase. i am stuck between the cervini 2.5", cervini 4", or the bbr cowl style. if you have a vista blue and with a cowl hood could you please post up a picture to help make my decision easier.

thanks
ken

personally i don't like either hood. i like the steeda 2.5" cowl or the kaneen 3" hood. i have the kaneen and i like how it flows better then the cervini

3'' Kaenen Cowl Hood FTW!!!!........The cervini's hood is too boxey for me....IMO it does not flow well with the car.....that is why I went with the Kaenen Hood

Here is a few pictures of mine with the Kaenen Hood....a few different angles for you to look at the hood....

I wouldn't do the Cervini hood either, too square.

I am hunting a cowl hood, I've seen it on a car here, which received alot of comments. It looks like the Kaenen hood but it has a second crimp that runs the lines next to the cowl. That's the hood, I'm going to find it, I think it was in a picture thread.

Yes...I think they do sell it......and American Muscle sells it as well.....I bought mine from American Muscle.....the hood fit perfect with no modifications needed to make it fit.....Great Quality and no problems with painting it either the fiberglass was perfect and had no prep work.....

I love that hood! I can't find a website for Kaenen though... I'd like to find a local dealer and when I went to bbr's website I didnt see it listed by brand.. I don't know.. either way, that hood is bad ass!

From what I've been told, the Kaenen hood is the BBR 3" cowl, Steeda Street Cowl, and just Kaenen cowl hood on acouple other sites.

these hoods are all about what you like, BBR, steeda and Kaenen are more round but (to me) do not stand out as much, the cervini's 2.5 is perfect to me, I have one, just not on my car yet, and they are more square, I like to look as if I did a Harwood hood on my car and the cervinis' look more like that. the 4" is huge to me, i really thought i wanted a 4" until i sat in a car with one an then I sat in a car with the 2.5" cervini and the 2.5" is perfect. kudos' to thoughs guys with the 4" hoods. heres a few links to pics of the cervinis hoods.
