    I think if Maverick Man (or anyone for that matter) could come up with a Grabber hood that is as high quality as the carbon fiber one. They would sell like crazy.

    What car???

    Whatever you do, don't get parts from Maverickman...

    Just kidding, his parts rule and end up being cheaper and much better.(y)

    I was thinking 4 inch on my flat hood (73 grabbers came flat) but I'll build it like the generic motors cowls (sealed to the hood I'll add a flap for rain driving then a hood repaint ) need a ginger stencil set for a 73 grabber.. gonna have to have it measured and cut or hand paint it if I keep the stock colors

    summit sells 4 inch cowls for around 125 bucks in glass
    mavmans carbon hood look slick but I can't come up with that kinda change

    I just spent more than I'll admit getting this glass hood close to perfect. MAVMAN will have an order from me in the future! Save the money, buy quality first!:(

    Teardrop: Gruesome.

    Cowl Hood: Nice.

    Extended (windshield length) Cowl Hood: Yeah Baby!!!! :dance:
    What do you think Maverick Man? Can you build one out of carbon fiber with a 3" or 4" windshield length cowl?

    didn't see you post on it so i'm thinking you haven't seen it.

    wanna help me sell them like crazy? lol! wanna buy one...lol!

    yeah one cowl is enough for now ;) mirrors and big bumper spoilers are on my list for now.


    i'll be waiting ;) sorry to hear that :( but another case of "i told you so"... :x... sorry i didn't get to you sooner.. either way i can't sand when these other companies sell jack up stuff and we (maverick owners) end up getting the shaft!

    I have always thought that this would be THE ULTIMATE cool hood.....I would LOVE to see one of these built......I even bought a 4 inch cowl scoop and have been searching for a grabber hood to just mock it up on. I think it would sell......:thumbs2:
