Yes, but nothing comes even close to the perfect quality and fit of the cervini's... The extra 100-130 bux is well worth it in the end, compared to having a WAVY hood and having to shave/grind the edges... Just a heads up, all ABC exclusive hoods I've seen (owned 1 and seen 2 in person) are always too short on the corners by the headlights, and there is nothing you can do to fix that...

yeah true i didnt think bout the qulaity of the hood i acatully own the 95 cobra r hood from cervini but its damaged pretty heavily so i need a new one and was tryin to come out cheaper but yeah ill prob go back cervini due to the quality. And nice stang i dont usually care for white but yours looks sweet, also i noticed u got the smoked headlights just wonderin if u had to upgrade on brighter blubs? cause i own a seat just not yet instailed and ive been told i might need to upgrade.

Not even H.O.Fibertrends?
That would surprise me because they are supposed to be the OEM supplier to Ford on the '95 Cobra R.
Sorry, forgot about H.O.. I have heard excellent things about them, but have not seen one IN PERSON, so I cannot give an honest opinion there.. If you want an EXACT replica of a 95 r hood, then H.O. is probably the way to go, otherwise, If you want a little taller, or a different style, Cervini's would probably be your best choice..
Yes, I do have upgraded bulbs (they're green) but I have a tinted windshield so I can't see a thing out of town at night... I will be ugrading to HID's as soon as I make my mind up what temperature I want..
I got my 3.5 in cowl from H.O. in yesterday. It fit great. Still got a few small bugs to work out, mainly getting the latch to latch all the time and adjusting the hinges some. But it fit nicely. I was gonna get a cheaper hood too. Then I started doing research on hoods, and saw that like 1 in 3 of the hood threads that werent about hoods from Cervinis or HO were horror stories. So I decided to spent the extra cash. It was only like $525 for my hood shipped.
