Re: where to buy a 3' cowl hood?

I have 2 4" Harwoods and they fit terrible. BEWARE. Bought the first at a discount price at a sale. Harwood sent the second one free of charge and it was identical to the first. Both had a 1-2" gap at the front of the hood where it latches down. I sent them pics of both hoods on my car along with pics of 3 different stock hoods on my car and they had nothing to say but, "We sell hundreds every year with no complaints." My IROC hood along with an RS hood and an 82 plastic hood all fit really nice but Harwood still insisted also that my car was probably in a wreck and was not square, etc. I'd feel bad pawning these things off to other board members but maybe I can cut the cowls off of them and use them some other time.

Goodluck!

Funny, they told me the same thing when I complained.

I am very happy with my VFN hood on a '94

Try Cervinis, the cowl hood was first quality and fit perfectly with minimal adjustments. I scored mine at a local swap meet so I saved shipping and some $ off the top. Here is a pic. Click

Re: where to buy a 3' cowl hood?

Agreed with ThirdGen. I also have a Cervini which fit very well. There were still some issues with some pits in the glass that I will have to fix but overall looks very nice. Very sturdy.

I also didn't find any well known brands that had a 3". Most were 2 or 4. I also like the fact that the middle of the hood doesn't have that exaggerated crease like Harwoods.
