I am getting ready to purchase one but I am not sure if one is better than the other as far as quality. I found one that seems really nice that has lots of information from Niche Performance but it is more than the one I found on Cruisin Concepts but this site really has no real pics of the hood or ANY information about it. Has anyone delt with any of these companys?
Cobra R hood question?
- Thread starter MahnotinkneeGT
- Start date
Do a search. I remember that someon on here complained about the quality of the niche hood. I really want a R hood with functional heat extractors, but I also worry about the quality of these pieces. In the end Ill go with the 95 R hood
Buy a nice one the first round...
Cervinis is a Great Quality hood..

Look at Taz's web-page. He had some comments about the Niche hood. I've also seen other people post on this forum that described similar issues to his.
From what I've read, everyone seems to like the Cervini's hoods. Someone was working on making the Cervini's Cobra R hood functional, but I don't know what their results were. It was in a thread that was posted within the last month or so.

I have the Cervini hood...not one single complaint. Even the body shop said it was the best fiberglass hood they ever saw...needed very little prep.
I have the Cervinis as well.... my paint shop said the exact same thing, best quality they had seen in an aftermarket hood.... only problem is with the packing... I've heard so many complaints that the hood arrives damaged because of poor packaging. Mine did, the shop fixed it and back charged Cervinis
Cervini's is great, but my favorite are Kaenen, you can literally scuff them and spray them with no body work.
I'd go kaenan over anything. I've seen about 15 of their hoods and I was amazed with how little work they took.
I have a FRRP one and it kinda was a pain but it fits good now.

Don't forget HO Fibertrends, they made the original 95 R hoods, adn they make the Frpp hoods, My body shop is a big fan on Cervini's, being stubborn I brought them the Ho Fibertrends piece (on the reccomendation of a very respected mustanger) At first they gave me a pretty hard time as they'd never heard of HO, but afterwards the body guy was impressed with the fit/finish and overall quality. The only downfall (for some) is the underside in unfinished, (but I'm not into the show/shine aspect of things)
i have the cervinis, quality is top notch and never had a problem with it. The spacing is the same on both sides.
i have the cervini's too....quaility is top notch and its badass looking!!!!
+1 on cervinis

Kaenen is still working on their web-site, and I'm too lazy to call, but relatively speaking, is the price of a hood from them about the same as Cervini's?
Cheaper.
My buddy drove over there and picked up his Double Cowl for his 04 GT for 320.
Just give them a call. They're a nice bunch of guys to work with.
