Default 4 inch cowl

I just bought this 4 inch cowl hood from an Ebay company, Champion Fiberglass. It's an ok hood, the body shop I took it to, said it wasn't the best quality but they made it look pretty good. There's two small gel coat bubbles on it, but other than that, its ok. I paid $255 plus $86 shipping, so overall I am pretty happy. But if I lived close to Cervini's, I'd definitely buy their hoods, hands down, since you don't have to pay shipping. There is a slight blind spot with the 4 inch, but not too bad. It makes the car look pretty tough though. Here's a link to my car: AlphaViet/1992 Mustang LX - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I really like the Cobra R SVO hood. I offers awesome styling points that really give the mustang that touch! Take a look at mine. 4" is too big. Stick to anything less than 3", you will be happy! Mine is 3.5" at the top, but you can also get these in 2.5". Hope this helps!!
