Welp..if you want serious quality I'd say go with a Cervinis hood. I have one myself and I have yet to hear anyone have any issues with one of theirs.

I will say though, they are heavy hoods but they stand behind them saying that they do not need hood pins. I've taken mine up to around 130 and not a bit of movement compared to my stock hood which shook(spelling???) like a mother.

which hood do you have?
im thinking about the 2.5 cowl

For a cowl, Id go BBR's 3 in cowl. Thats my next hood im getting. I have a Tru Fiber 3 in and im not liking it anymore due to the fact its starting to sag in the middle and the finish wasnt that great. The BBR is by far the best ive seen out there. Check out HEAVYGT's mustang with it on there. Shit looks killer.

Or if you want a stealthy hood, just get a prepainted Foose from CDC for $600 and spend the rest on something else
