Me LIKEY! I like that the Cervini has a really mild line down the center like the factory hood. The harwood has a real agressive line down the center that's not as flattering.

I had a Cervinis 3 inch fiberglass cowl induction hood for my Mustang. I hate Cervinis now. The hood came as wavy as could be so I had to work with it more than I should of had to. Also, one day when I was driving down the road the hood latch assembly on the hood broke apart causing my hood to fly up at 50mph. The end result was a broken windshield, hood hinges, body damage and me not buying a cervinis product again. Oh yeah, I called them up and they said they would only replace the hood if I still have the reciept.

I have a harwood on my IROC and it fits terrible. I had to slot all of my hinges just for it to line up as badly as it is. My cousin has a cervini on his mustang and it looks so good you'd swear it was a factory hood. It's perfectly smooth and has a perfect fit.

I have a harwood and had to do alot of sanding to get the protective ledge off of all sides of the hood. I think they do this for shipping purposes. After that the alignment of the hood isn't great but, not bad. I think I would go with the cervinis it looks much more slick.

25THRSS what makes you say i dont have a harwood? becuz i was under the impression that only harwood did a black gel coat on all there hoods. becuz the under side of my hood still has the gel coat but the top is painted. and from other harwood oods ive seen, mine looks just like it. i know its not an unlimited products hood, becuz my brother had one before on his 86 and that thing was just crap.
