cowl hood

ehh.. pretty simple question. what do yall think about a cowl hood and is it worth going through the process?

 

Just for looks? No, but if you've got the equipment and need it, then Yes.

 

What "process"?

There are several "processes"...

1) Buy a decent metal one, and slap on.

2) Buy a rusty metal one, and cut the rusty front part out and weld in new metal.

3) Buy a new carbon fiber jobbie and slap one.

4) Maybe a fiberglass hood?

What "process" are you referring to?

 

...all these are... cowl hoods...

 

process of getting off my butt and finding one for a affordable price lol. and i want a fiberglassone

 

well ya for both looks and a better way of keeping my engine cooler. just seems to be a pain in the rear to find one around southeast georgia for a maverick. havnt seen a maverick till i seen mine on side road for sell.

 

Oops! I thought he was talking Grabber Hoods.

My bad...

 

lol nah its kool.my dad told me a cowl hood make mine stick out from all the other cars. but i tried tell him that here where i live im lucky to find a 2000 model mustang gt >.< so sticking out wont be a problem at all :bananaman

 

My buddy has several hoods he swaps out now and again. One of them is a stock hood with fiberglass cowl on it and I think it looks bad-ass. He's possibly thinking about giving it to me and I'm all over it. I have a stock hood with a functional comet gt scoop on it.

 

well if you get that hood. ill buy your scoop if you want to part with it

 

if you were closer i have one that would make your car stick out.. Not a cowl hood though... I hate this thing.

 

I built mine, found a glass 82-92 camaro hood cut it right at the rolled lines, contours line up perfect. took me a day. i love it. beats runnin no hood, because I dont wanna cut up my grabber hood, even tho it will never fit with this engine.

 

Threre are glass hoods on the market. I'm not recomending anything but here is a site that you might be interested in. I don't know about the quality of their products, haven't ordered anything from them yet. Just a site I found while looking around online. Price list is at top of page and pictures, when available, are lower down. They do have some cowled hood though.

thx man, when i get some money saved up this probly be first ill check into.

 

I'm debating on the Grabber hood and the spoiler myself but I've got a lot of work to complete before I have to decide on those! Those would be the last things I do before the paint shop and the paint shop is a long way away...
