Re: where to buy cowl hoods

Hi,you can buy them from a couple companys on ebay,one is TamRaz fiberglass,and the other is LTDFiberglass. Both of these companys have great feedback,we are getting ready to order a 4" pin-on for our 91 GTA,both are reasonable priced. Check them out on Ebay Search for "Firebird Hood",that should bring them up. Also both companys hoods are built by Glasstek,which in my opinion are a much better looking hood than the VFN,Harwood, and others that make cowl hoods for our third gen T/A's,the reason is because Glasstek starts the cowl at the front of the hood,and starts rising,instead of building it were it dosent start rising until further up the hood,this makes a much better looking hood in my opinion.Do a search for a VFN hood or Harwood hood,and compare them with the Glasstek hood,and you will see what I mean,I think you'll agree the Glasstek hood is best looking. I have also heard of poor quality with the VFN hoods,like having waves in them that you'll have to block out before painting,and some have said that there VFN hood didnt fit there car without trimming.

Also wanted to add,these are BRAND NEW hoods
