cowl hood
I did a search but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I am interested in getting a 2" cowl hood for my 90 IROC, but idon't know if I should go with a glass hood or a steel hood from goodmark. I was also looking at the jongbloed hood. Anyone here that has an opinion or experience with any of these hood please let me know. Any info or pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

I would go with fiberglass cause if you're not keeping the stock hood it might as well be lighter.

But you do get a better finish from steel.

what is your problem with harwood? I've been looking at getting one and you're the first person that's had a complaint. Not trying to argue I would just like you to elaborate.

Your close enough to pick one up! I believe Naperville or somewhere close to that. I picked up a 4" one there a few years ago. Great fit!
