Go with Cervini's. Most other manufacturer's (unless OEM) can't beat their ease-of-fit. Their prices are somewhat higher, but it pays off with less prep time. Saving $50-100 is nothing when it takes 4+ hours to prep it for paint and fitting problems after.

All hoods need prepping and sanding down of the 'glass, and the Cervini's is no exception, the best, by far, fitting hood on the market is a Ford hood(cobra r). Or go with a Harwood, a lot more money, but in the end, you will be much happier. Most aftermarket hoods have extra material to make up for difference's in people's vehicle measurements.

well, bumpers, now that is a different story!!!! Cervini's uses urethane like OE, AGE uses fiberglass. The cervini's bumper might fit better because you can flex and stretch the urethane, you have to massage the 'glass to fit. Also, if you hit somthing, the urethane will flex, the 'glass will crack and break. Body kits, by urethane, for hoods though, they are all the same, I would by the cervini's bumper and a harwood hood, because appearance is everything if you are going to change those parts

just remember, with everything in life, especially car parts, you get what you pay for. what seems like a deal in the beginning, will cease to look so good after more $$ is spent making the cheap part perform/look like the more expensive piece. splurge once and don't regret it. my two pesos

Good advise...
Fiberglass bumpers are heavier than urethane too...

I bought a lift off cobra R hood from Cobra Designs $200. Fit HELLA GOOD. I also had a cervinis stalker front bumper. They all fit perfect on my 88. Just buy it and save $$$$
