champion hoods

[dr59l]

Anyone run one their 5" extended lift offs for fox? How was fit an look?

[chris91]

Champion hoods are GARBAGE. Don't waste your money.

[Gearhead]

Same as Cincinnati composites....stay away

[2Fast4You]

The rumor is they are GARBAGE and will not hold up to any customer satisfaction.
That is why they have multiple names they sell under.

[SN95N/A]

I think they look good especially when it gets that real good wave going in it and the top side of hood seperates from the bottom side.

[700hp04mystic]

spend the extra money and get the best, HO fibertrends.

[firestang70]

I am friendly guy so I like a hood that waves at me every time I see it.

[slow86fiveoh]

X2 on the H.O. Fiber trends hoods they are top notch, my car had a hardwood hood on it when I bought it and it fits great and is super light as well

[facemelter71]

Boss Inc Hoods. And they are local.

[700hp04mystic]

so is ho fiber trends, its in Ashville oh. I had a boss hood once and didn't line up for crap.

[draggin50]

Buy an H.O. Fibertrends hood and it will be the only hood you ever buy again!

Steve u ever see wat Duke had on em? Ho is a 4" extended which should clear. I think mine is 3-31/2" on it now

[700hp04mystic]

you can just buy directly from dave just look up his number.

[2Fast4You]

I have the HO Fibertrends 5" Outlaw hood for my car, it fits like a glove.

[dr59l]

OK not using their Hood but any real advantage to cowl to windshield? I can trim scoop enough to clear driver wiper not running a pass one. Car is still street driven an not giving any excuses to cops

Did a search here and found several members who said Champion hoods are OK and they are not the same as Cincinnati Composites / Liberty Fiberglass.

Called and Spoke to Doug and he said he has been fighting the comparison for years! Said Champion sells on Ebay and has a 100% positive feedback. Went to his shop in Carthage and picked up a cobra r for my 87 Mustang. Finnish is not as good as Cervinis but not bad ether! Fit was as good as any hood I have ever had!

Have you owned a h o fiber trends hood before?

[chris91]

Wait a min... Anyone know this fastlad Guy? Searched his posts and they all are just him praising the champion hoods... Seems like a vendor trying to act as a normal customer.

[SN95N/A]

Maybe he just likes there hoods lol

[chris91]

Or he's getting paid to talk em up. :D

[jktruckin06]

That's good stuff! Tomfoolery!

[dr59l]

There same damn place I'm pretty sure. I've had people clear across country told me they sucked lol. I can tell u I got one of their cowl covers off eBay an was 1/8 thick to 3/32 across wavy an not even close to good fit

[Rick93coupe]

There are better hoods to be had for sure but it also depends on what you want. There's always a market for cheap. On my car I wanted a nice hood so I went H.O. But not everyone needs or wants nice. .02

[dr59l]

I was cheap an bought my ho off Chad Boise for $200 I feel ya

Last post was 5 years ago on the same basic topic. All other topics as well realted to hoods. Fedish? I doubt it. Clearly appears to be nothing mor ethan a lurker vendor running damage control on what people clearly opinionate/validate as an inferior product line. You have the moderator wand.

[91boost]

I've painted a lot of glass hoods and I can tell you the h.o hoods are very nice!!! You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to a fiberglass hood!

[SN95N/A]

I got a champion hood and plated can speak on this topic we just threw it away..

gotcha......

Champion hoods are junk!Blowpastyou has a carbon fiber hood he may sell..

[NO SHOT]

We all no I'm not a vender. But as someone who does body work and has painted numerous champion hoods I can say this. If you are afraid of a little bodywork save up and buy a more expensive hood.If you don't care to do some blocking and want to save some money there great.But to want a hood for half the price at top quality is goofy...;)

What do the Champion hoods go for? Usually you can pick up the HO hoods for around $325. I just bought 2 and got them for $265 each.

[Metcalf Racing]

Champion is not Cincinnati composites.
Although they are friends and if one doesn't have what you need they will help you get what you need from the other guy. I have owned and painted about as many different hoods as any one. My Harwood hood was junk. All big outlaw hoods will be wavy there is just too much area for it to be that thin and straight.


My only complaint and real issue with Liberty Fiberglass is blistering but they may have found away to fix that by now

You own fast cars that are worthy of a nice hood.my car is slow but nice and I wouldn't waste my time on a junk hood...

[Blowpastyou]

Champion and Cincinnati composites are the worst looking and worst quality hoods ive ever seen. With that being said, like Bill mentioned. if you want top quality you have to pay a little more. HO fibertrends are a great choice as well as Boss inc, my personal favorite is Motor City Solutions.

[dr59l]

I like my ho Hood. Fits great an scoop looks good compared to some I've seen.
