ponyboy19 said:The link i posted for CDC states 1.5" rise. factory is I believe 1" which would give a total of 2.5" cowl
Cervini's list there's at "height of lift 3-1/2" which is an inch taller.. You can read for yourself here at the bottom of page 10 or 12 in PDF format.
http://www.cervinis.com/NewFiles/2004 Catalog.pdf You may want to call each and find out.
Either hood is top quality.
Methodical: I forgot to give you a link in response to you PM. here are two pics of mine.
do you have a website for the ho hood?RIO5.0 said:I went with H.O. Fibertrends 1 1/2 Cobra R....I wanted a good latch from the horror stories.... when this mother shuts you no its not coming up...and didn't wanna run hood pins anyway...
FRPP gets 595.00....H.O. makes em anyway...I pd 354.00 shipped.
The top is gel-coated but the blanket area is raw fiberglass but sealed well.
Only thing I had hoped for was to have the cowl open to the engine bay, which its not...there's a 1" gap for airflow though...this summer's project is to cut the mother open...Although you get alot more motor noise with the R hood...you can def hear the RRs singing away...
I painted the center Black...to kinda hide the textured look of the glass.
Then paint...something different..

Also, a dumb question, but one I must ask. Is their a chance that I will have to use hood pins? I do not want hood pins. Again Thanks
