I've seen 2 hoods from ABC. One was sent back only to recieve another of the same shitty quality. The second was very nice but had many hours of labor invested in it.
Every Cervinis hood I have seen only needs a little blocking and it's ready to prep/paint/install.
Good 'ol Cincinatti Composits was garbage too. I had a hood from them that was downright sloppy. I don't think they are in business anymore.

I ordered one piece from them along time ago and swore I would never buy from them again. They have the worse craftsmenship of any body parts maker. My bumper was all warped and basically not even usuable. Sold it on ebay.
DONT BUY FROM ABC unless you want the shittiest parts on earth gracing the panels of your stang.

ive heard good things about ho fibertrends, which is the company that made the 95 cobra r hoods for ford so that gives u an idea of their quality.
for the most part, cervinis is of high quality and require less prep than the other brands. on my 92gt i have the 1.5" cowl from cervinis and it definitely fits good but definitely not perfect. mine would require a bit more sanding towards the sides/edge to make level with the fender. it's minor but for those car nuts even that wouldnt be exceptable considering one of these hoods for run you over $500 to your door when its all said and done.
i have their cobra kit on my 92. i cant be happier with how it turned out. it fits perfect.

+1. Cervini's is damn near OEM quality ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
I've had there cobra rear bumper, front stalker, side skirts, and grill insert. all pieces fit perfectly and were great qualitty. The only sucks is that you pay an arm/leg for shipping. Try and see if anyone has cervini pieces for sale locally before you dish out the money for their rediculous shipping rates.

I agree with everything you just said.but to add to that,harwood does make an excellent product with very little fitment issues,2nd to cervini however!

i bought a hood from ABC. the thing is still a little off on fitment, but i don't have the time to sit and realign my fenders. i would prolly pay a little more to go with cervini's

Anyone bought from Maier Racing? From what I remember they are local, NO SHIPPING, and hoods aren't bad?
I'm interested in hearing your opinions.
