I had to replace the original hood on my 05 because of pealing paint and corrosion on the front lip. It was much cheaper to go with a Cervinis fiberglass than a aluminum replacement, and no body shop would touch the original. I’m very happy with it and it’s still very straight after 3 years. Here’s another view.That hood reminds me of my brother's 1973 Mach1. I could have bought it for $1500 in 1989 or 1990.

I'll always regret getting my new bride an 86 Escort instead!
