Which Hood?

SlammedGT · September 27th, 2006, 01:17 AM

I've got to replace my hood since someone decided to sit on it and cracked one of the scoops. The only problem is im torn between 2 different ones. Either the same mach 3 hood i have now, or a 3 or 4 inch cowl hood. So im takin a vote, ur input would be appreciated.

I would say the cowl hood...I love the wat a cowl hood looks on the new edge stangs...

You cant fix you hood with alittle bit of fiberglass? Im sure a body shop could fix it and it would prolly be cheaper then buying a new hood...Or is it like cracked completely in half or something?

When she sat on it, it actually made a crack along the cowl and no body shop will touch it cuz they said it wont look right.. It surprised me cuz she doesn't even weigh 110lbs. Needless to say i was pissed.

Yeah fiberglass is easily broken after the fiberglass gets alittle age on it...Go with the cowl hood...

SlammedGT · September 27th, 2006, 01:47 AM

thats just it the hood is ONLY 9 months old...... cheap as shit (quality)

just dont go with too high of a cowl... i think when the cowl gets too huge it looks cartoonish... just my opinion though!!!

cowl. i have a 2 1/2 cobra r hood form cervinis and i kinda wish it was a tad taller but it looks badass

Almost any hood looks nice on a mustang. I would go with the 4" cowl

I would like to see a colw on his car...I think it would look great...

Dennis-96GT · October 8th, 2006, 02:17 PM

cowl definatley i dont know about 4 inch depending on how you drive sitting wise it might get in the way maybe but the 3 inch would be tight as hell

Yep, I would agree, go with the cowl.

If I was going to replace my hood, the cowl would be my choice.

I mean I even cut into my hood and didn't worry cuz if I screwed it up, I'd buy a cowl hood.

Go for it!

Does anyone know why the paint is flaking off on the hood of my Mustang ? It looks like small scratches. At first I thought I just didn't notice them when I bought the car. But I've noticed a few more since I first bought my car.

97Cobra · October 21st, 2006, 05:39 PM

might have been repainted befor you bought it and the previous owner bought a cheap paint job. or maybe the dealership repainted it cheapley to get it sold.

oh and Id go with the 3'' cowl hood as well!

The eaglenator · October 21st, 2006, 06:49 PM

The rest of the car so is doing find. I was thinking that they might have damaged the hood. Under the black paint it is white. How much is the 3 inch cowl hood, and how much trouble to install.

aftermarket hood and they maccoed it?!?!?!?! lol
