Opinions on H.O. Fibertrends Hoods

[CNTLOSE]

Well since I have decided to keep the '94 GT I am going to finish what I had planed for her. I have a Cobra nose and I think I have decided to go with the Cobra R hood. I was looking at the H.O. Fibertrends Cobra R hood for its price and if I remember right they built the original Cobra R hoods.

Would like to hear and positives or negatives from people with first hand knowledge.

Thanks!

Dave makes a top notch product. I've had 2 of his now and they are very nice.

they do make the cobra rr hood and they fit really good i definitely recomend them.

One of the best hood manufacturing company out there.:bigthumb

Ive got one of there Fiberglass decklids on the coupe.Fits great.

I sell a lot of his hoods, I have a few in the showroom currently. I use his hoods on my two race cars, and a bunch of other cars I've had in the past. I highly recommend them. the fitment is very good, and the quality is top notch, especially in the latch area.
Let it sit outside in the sun for a few days before putting it on or getting it painted. It allows the fiberglass to finish shrinking before paint is applied. I do this with every hood I get.

Dave makes nice stuff....plus his shop is just up east of columbus....so you can drive up to pick a hood up to save the shipping costs.

Thanks guys, I think that is what I will go with.

NXcoupe you will have a pm shortly.

If I ever decide to put a hood on my '94 I'd def. go with a Cobra Double R... good choice on keeping the car and on the hood :bigthumb

I LOVE mine, its even better than the pricey as hell one i bought from harwood for my camaro.

The hood on my 95gt in my signatire is an h.o. barely did any prep work just sanded and painted and it looks like a steel hood.

[CNTLOSE]

Thanks guys. I plan on ordering one from NXCoupe and sending it and my Cobra nose to Plated for some paint and maybe some graphics....that is as soon as I sell of my '88 GT parts car, which I am hoping will be within the next week or so.

I have an H.O. on my car and it fits great. I thought about getting the harwood because its a little taller but they hit the windshield before they go all the way up. They are a lot more money to. I bought my cobra nose from plated and had him paint the hood, nose, and the car all at once and I love the way it turned out. Post pics when its done! I love an sn95 with fresh paint!

i need to buy one for my 92 coupe i am going to find someone to strip the car down and repaint it,engine compartment and all.

[INSANEBA]

H.O. makes some of the nicest, I woulda bought one if I coulda afforded it. I also want plated to do my car, just gonna get some big work done on it first, chassis, suspension, motor and tranny. Basically pulling the radiator cap and setting a new car under it lmao!

All the H.O. hoods I have painted have been scuff and shoot. Very high quality and you really can go wrong with them.

Yeah, I am hoping to make it out this year with it. Still need to get the rear gear swapped out...which means drag radials...which means new wheels...which means...

It is never ending. :lol:

Are you planning on running hood pins? I know with most hoods they recomend them.

I am looking at the 3.5in Hood from them for my 95.

If so what kind of hood pins? I like the twist locks. I've seen to many of the other kind rust.

I plan on getting a bolt down and use the OEM latch...not a big fan of the hood pins on street cars.

[2Kblacksleeper]

From other sites I've read lately, most recommend pins with aftermarket hoods.
I plan on using the factory mounting points also.

I just don't want to chance having to hood come up on me while going down the road.

I know the HO is reinforced with aluminum as there site says.
