Ok so wich is better to buy? Steel or fiberglass cowl induction hood? Im not talking about the price. I wanna know wich would be better, durability, long lasting and weight. Thank you

 

well fiber glass is lighter, prob about the same price, if finished right and of good build quality as durable as steel. Id go with the fiberglass, no rust, painted looks just like steel, and is super light. My hood actualy stays up on its own.

If I were you I would replace it with an aluminum hood. Very rare, and no cowl, but its light and durable.

 

Well I definetley want the cowl. Makes it look more intiminating I think. I will go with the fiberglass, Thank you

 

fiberglass usually requires work to get it right. The only company I know of that usually gets it spot on it Cervini's, and you'll pay well for their hoods. I went with steel because it's cheaper and the chances for bad fitment are minimal.

I think Glasstek sells a decent product also from what I've heard on here. Could also try them.

 

can some one give me some sites that i can get a steel cowl hood? all i can manage to find is a fiberglass and i would like to get a steel hood
thanks

 

I have a cervinis cowl hood, and by far the best hood I have ever installed. No trimming required, fitment was perfect, and weighed far less than the stock steel hood.

 

Heres a link to the Goodmark 2in. all steel hood at Summit Racing.= http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GM...RO&prefilter=1
I have this hood and other than the rear cowl vent being somewhat restrictive ( can be fixed by cutting it out before install ) its a great hood.

 

That's a good looking car! I was looking for a firebird. Thanks anyway I found a hood

 

Thats a nice hood and not a bad price either. I will be going steel hood instead of fiberglass. LOL I always liked steel hoods anyways but I did like the fact that the fiberglass is a bit lighter. Thank you everyone!!!

 

Ronus just has to post pics of that beauty whenever given the chance he wont come to a nor cal gtg so I can see it in person though!

 

Do not buy a fiberglass hood from Cincinnatti Composit! I did (didn't do research) the fit is horrible. A four inch cowl induction. You wouldn't believe how much this thing weighs.

 

I wanna not believe. how much does it weigh?

 

What about hawks daytona cowl hood?, is the fitment good on that?..

 

I am going steel for the fit

 

Yeah thats what I did, Already ordered mine from SUMMIT. Thank you guys!

 

Allmost as much as my ex wife that was alot! Believe it!

 

glad i read this. i live in cincy and was thinking about buying my next hood from there...guess thats why they are so much cheaper. You get what you pay for.
