    Would I be intrested in buying a Grabber Cowl hood? No...
    The hood isn't shaped right at the front.. My trim will not fit it.. Just wouldn't look right on my Comet GT. ;)
    :kewlpics:Looks good Jimmy.. Grabber blue paint makes anything look bling :hide:

    Thats why you get a maverick front bumper and maverick grille, that way the car will look better. (y)

    Nice hood by the way :D I dont have the inserts for the hood though :(

    The Grabber Cowl Induction hood is officially being made s of last friday.My original grabber cowl hood is being made into a plug(mold ) as we speak.I was told by Ken the owner of Token fibreglass that it will take two weeks just to build the perfect mold,then two or three days later the first fibreglass Grabber Cowl Induction hood will pop out of the mold .June 21 i would think the first one will be done,it will have the scoops built into it as one unit.:Handshake

    :Handshake
    Hello folks ,i wont say im back,as that would be a lie ,but im here to finish some threads i started. I cant post this on Would you be interested in a Grabber Cowl Hood part 2 as it is closed ,so here i am. The hood is done and it turned out awsome ,just as i thought it would .I will post 5 pics of it befor i paint it and i will post another 5 next week after its painted and on my racecar .The finished hood weighs 24lbs and its bullit proof ,Ken from Token Fibreglass is a 6 foot 3 and is a 250 lb man put the hood on the ground and stepped onto the cowl of the Fibreglass hood and stood on it for 30 sec ,no cracks ,no breaks ,nothing .I will not be afraid to ship this hood anywhere ,it will not break.I will be be making a new post for thoughs that seriously want one to purchase .I will still sell them for my cost of 550 .00 .P.S im working on having a Fibreglass fuctional Comet GT hood made by Ken also . PPS for thoughs that want to see a pic of Ken (250 lbs) standing on the hood ill get one .:Handshake
