mine fit pretty good. I still have to move the driver side fender around a little to get it perfect, but I think it fit really good.

the one in the link is a cervinis, but I personally like the harwood better. BTW, how tall is the height of the tallest point on the harwood 3 inch hood?

Yeah looks like a Cervini to me. I belive the Cervini's cowl starts more towards the front then the Harwood from my point of view.

Nope, the picture just looks a little tricky. They only make the 3" cowl hood.


This hood seems to -really- be catching on around here. Geez, I should have got my hood for free!

How do you like the height of your hood es? I wanted to get a 4" but want to go with cevini because of the quality so i guess i will have to settle with 3"

Personally, I think it's just right. It does not obstruct your view of the road, yet you can clearly see it. 4" to me is just plain too big, unless you have some monster under there that really needs to room. 2.5-3" is a nice pick as it is noticable, yet does not look huge like a 4 or *gasp* 6 inch. Sometimes less is more, you know? I guess I am just a suttle kinda guy. On another note, the quaility of these things are just plain top notch. I just bolted mine on and did about 5 minutes worth of adjustment. I could bring up the one fender to make it perfect, I will probably mess with that over the winter. Serveral folks from this board have gone with it after I got mine, and I don't think anyone has had any complaints at all.

One other little thing that I am glad that I went with this hood for, I converted to a lincoln mark viii 18" cooling fan setup, and this pushed the tpi airbox up a bit. I don't think this would have fit without the cowl starting up at the very forward edge of the hood. Nice design!
