Token Hood Company?

Have you guys heard of Token? They are based in B.C. I am going to be buying a cowl hood off of a guy from Canada and thats where he got his hood. He says they reproduce Harwood cowl hoods. Anybody have experience with their hoods? How is their quality? Thanks.

Mike

I'm checking into it right now... I've been trying to find decent glass hoods in Canada. Let me know how yours looks... I can't find any pics on their site.

Thanks guys!

I just ordered a brand new one... I also got these pics from another member:









Looks exactly like a cervini to me... cervini is what I wanted... but by the time I got it over the border with shipping and taxes and duty, it would have been well over 1000Canadian. This was way cheaper (600 Canadian with tax) and looks just as good. The only downside is its going to take 3-4 weeks because they have so much work backed up.

That looks sweet!!! I cant wait to get mine! I wanted a Cervini also but I found a good deal on this. I probably wouldnt be able to afford the Cervini right now anyway. Do you know if the hoods are functional or if I will benefit from having an open element johny?

From what I have seen, the hood is definitely functional... the only thing I noticed is that there is no grill or mesh in the open end... but if you want that it's fairly easy to do yourself.
