Default Question about Cervinis hoods?

How is the fit and quality of their hoods. Are they finished ready to be installed as soon as you get them?

Are you really going to take that hood off after I put all that work into it?

Yes I'm thinking about just getting a 4 inch cowl that fits right.

I never had a aftermarket hood fit perfect,it might be as little as something you will only notice though.

I have bought two of them in the past. The first one was great and the fit was perfect! I was impressed with the underside of the hood, it was finished nicely. Then the hood latch didn't hold correctly and I ordered my second one. The second one was not the high quality of the first one. I had to pull the hood forward to get it to latch correctly. I leaves a bigger gap in the rear, next to the cowl. I could live with that, but not with the fact it delaminated about a year later. When you look at the hood, you can see lines under the paint. I am still not sure if I am going to replace it or just try to cover it up with 'slick sand'.
The last hood I bought was a Keanan(sp?). They are a local vendor and I was impressed with that hood. The quality and fit were better than my last Cervini and it was cheaper without the additional $80 for shipping.

Hey Scott,
The last hood I bought was about 3 years ago. I am not sure how their stuff is today. I know that the second hood even fit pretty good, but it just didn't hold up as well as my first hood. I believe that would have been about 6 years ago too. That one was perfect and I loved it. Shoot... I even repaired that first hood for practice and gave it to a buddy. He put it on his 92 and painted it black. It looked good, up till the day he sold his car.
