Who makes the best / a nice fox cowl hood? Looking for one step larger than stock, nothing too large. I like one that just bolts up and needs minimal body work before painting.

Thanks.

What ever you do don't buy from hoods4sale on ebay I bought my first 4" cowl hood from them on ebay for 200 bucks plus 140 shipping and it took a month to get and when it came it was junk took my body guy a week to get good enough paint and even with him instaling it, it took a hour of moving fenders and adjusting brackets and shimming the fenders to even get it close. And yes my body is very good hes been at it 25 years.
