BakerFX4 · February 23rd, 2011, 12:22 PM

My DSG car needs the hood replaced and Im thinking 3" cowl but which brand are people happy with? Pics are welcome. I thought about 4" but im thinking its just a lil big. Im trying to go ahead and get my air bags, hood, and headlights on the way.

which one has a better fitment, a few extra bucks is worth it to me, to not have to finger fart around with makin a hood try and fit "ok"

BakerFX4 · February 23rd, 2011, 12:30 PM

i dont know what it is, I just dont like something about willy mo's pictures. Maybe its the lighting/color of car/rims... something but im just not feeling those pics. Willy mo, get some more pics of for me man.

I ordered the keanan 95 cobra R cowl hood off of AM this winter. I dont have any pics of it painted on the car yet but heres ones of it unpainted when i tested the fitment. Its still snowing here so ill put it on come spring time. The fit was good and the finish was really good actually. Plus i love the double step up the cowl has.

BakerFX4 · February 23rd, 2011, 12:34 PM

That's the style of hood that came on the 95 Cobra Rs.

Edit: Not sure which hood you're talking about. The ones 86er posted don't look exactly like the 95 Cobra R hoods.

BakerFX4 · February 23rd, 2011, 12:42 PM

i meant 95.... not cobra R. Just doesnt look tall on AM's website.

86er · February 23rd, 2011, 12:42 PM

yeah, the two I posted on the mach 1 are 5 inch cobra R hoods, they werent that big from the factory, but that style.

blueAsmurf · February 23rd, 2011, 12:45 PM

I dont think mines that big, is it 86er? lol but anyways heres the only 2 other pics i have..still unpainted..

BakerFX4 · February 23rd, 2011, 12:46 PM

so thats a 5"... dont think ima go that big. lol.

Nicos2001GT · February 23rd, 2011, 12:52 PM

The light blue one looks sick, I know 86er is in love with that one because whenever someone asked about a hood he is always throwing that one up

86er · February 23rd, 2011, 12:55 PM

Yeah the mach is a 5 inch keenan cobra r. The double step makes it appear not as tall, but its def 5 inches. Yeah, the azure blue and that hood is sex on wheels. They also make that hood in a 3 inch.

Nicos2001GT · February 23rd, 2011, 12:56 PM

Damn now that i could about it i would trade my hood for that any day i love the 5in look on that one
