And yea I'm prepared for a big purchase but holy shit 630 for a damn hood?!? I've seen a cervini in person liked it and I even had one on my first lx hatch and it was great too but like I said let me know your opinions on either or and how each company handled your business with them bad or good <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ed650</b> <br /><small>Member # 9897</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,0,5,7,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What about steeda cowl hoods? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>LXjames</b> <br /><small>Member # 10791</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,0,5,7,40,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by ed650:<br /><strong> What about steeda cowl hoods? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Site says its louvered and also "requires" hood pins. 2 things I really don't want <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>racsirx</b> <br /><small>Member # 1710</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,0,5,8,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Cervini are the best fitting hoods and can easily sell for $400 used, but they are very heavy and aren't very strong because they are made with a spray gun, a hand laid fiberglass hood will be a lot stronger and almost half the weight of a Cervini, I don't know of any hand laid fiberglass hoods that fit as good as a Cervini<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2016-01-05, 08:59 AM: Message edited by: racsirx ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>LXjames</b> <br /><small>Member # 10791</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,0,5,9,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by racsirx:<br /><strong> Cervini are the best fitting hoods and can easily sell for $400 used, but they are very heavy and aren't very strong because they are made with a spray gun, a hand laid fiberglass hood will be a lot stronger and almost half the weight of a Cervini, I don't know of any hand laid fiberglass hoods that fit as good as a Cervini </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">According to their site, trufiber is hand laid and reinforced around the hatch area which is also a plus for them.

However i do have one on my 01 cobra. While, yes they arent the lightest hood but the fitment is near stock if not better. The hood latch flange is thick and well secure so no pins would ever see mine. When i dropped the hood off at the body shop to be painted for my car i remember him saying how much he loves cervini hoods because they are also fully finished on the bottom side and not much prep is even needed if any. Get what you pay for though man.. I cannot speak for TF but i thought they had cool looking hoods.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>LXjames</b> <br /><small>Member # 10791</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,0,5,10,37,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Straight from the site <br /><br />All TRUFIBER aerodynamic parts and auto accessories give you the best in show and off-road performance.
