My Cervinis hood fits just like yours, just about perfect. I read about all these people having problems with the Harwoods, so I'm glad I got the Cervinis. Looks nice, plus, with your white car at least you can hold off painting it for a little longer My car is purple with a white hood now, haha.

Man I wish I saw those kind of shipping prices. You guys don't know how lucky you all are on shipping. It costs about $100-$200 to ship a hood to Hawaii Hood is awesome by the way

The fit was great! It only took minor adjusting due to the damage from an old wreck but nothing serious. Yes the stripes are going back on in a couple weeks. I was lucky that it was white, it gives me a real good idea what it will look like finished except for the stripes. I recommend them to anyone, I dont regret it at all! Once the new front end is on its gonna look sweet!

Mr.Dude- Your thinking of Goodmark they make the steel hoods, Harwoods have been known to need some trimming.

Tunedport335- They are Pacer truck wheels made by Centerline for Pacer. I paid 650 for the wheels and about a grand for the tires BFG Gforce KDWS

I couldnt say exactly, the shipping weight is 50lbs. and the stock hood feels almost double that.

So, basically, Cevini's fits better, is cheaper, and looks cooler than the harwoods???!!! For some reason i always thought Cervini's was crazy expensive (i think b/c of the name sounds like money) but it looks like the Cervini cowl is the hood im going with this summer!!!!

It doest use the stock hood latches or lift mechanism. Its held on by hood pins. I believe it also uses less bracing since it doesnt need to hold up to the lifts, so it's also lighter weight than the bolt on hood. Sometimes it looks cool, other times it looks like garbage. Hopefully for MizfitCreations, this time it looks cool

I always thought the same thing, until I was in the market for a hood. Cervinis was the clear choice, looks the best and the price is right!

Dude the Hoods Rocks. I think it would look even tighter with the black stripes.

Hey, on a side note...what type of wheels are those? and what size tires are you running? 275's?

Thanks! The stripes are in the process of being put back on. The wheels are Pacer wheels. They sell them as truck wheels but I think they stopped making them. They are 3 years old and I have had trouble finding them on Pacers site. They are actually made by Centerline for Pacer, I guess they didnt like the fact that it took another wwheel company to make a nice set for em so they quit that model.

I never had any problems with either one of my harwood hoods. I have seen Cervini hoods and didn't think they were any better of a fit then Harwood.

BTW I think your car looks kick ***.

Harwood was a close second, I had a hard time deciding. I read alot of posts about Harwood not fitting right and people being upset, when I searched on Cervini I didnt find any posts like that so I went with them. I still think Harwood is good but I am on a tight schedule to get it ready for a show so I didnt wanna take a chance.

Hey "luvmy92" I'm thinking of getting the cervinis hood. I was wondering if you had a shot from underneath side of the hood. Thanks. I've searched and haven't been able to find a picture.

It looks just like the top, only reversed. Seriously, it's a fully finished underside with a cervini's logo embossed into it. It looks killer! I would take a pic and post it of mine but it's filthy in there right now.

Trying to decide

I was trying to decide between the goodmark or the cervini's. I was leaning toward the goodmark until I noticed how it doesn't contour at the windsheild like the cervini's does. I think I like the cervini's better for that reason.

That was the whole reason I bought the Cervini as well. You will not be dissapointed.

I was almost gonna buy a SS hood until I found these pics. I really wanted to buy a cervinins anyways. Cervinis should put a better pic of their cowl hood up on their website. That yellow camaro looks hideous. I really like how the cowl starts at the front of the hood. Much smoother than alot of the other cowls out on the market. Good job and I like how you had the lemans stripes added.
