Tamraz 4" steel cowl hood

Just wondering if anyone has one of these hoods from ebay and likes it and what the quality is. I about to sell my cervini's ram air hood and what to buy the steel cowl.

Check it out what do you guys think ?

A lift off is a total PITA. And if i'm ever alone and have a problem i'm screwed. But dont get me wrong, when working on the car and the hood is completely gone and the whole engine bay is open its great.

Oh, you're wanting a bolt on? They make those in fiberglass. It would be a lot lighter.

Re: Tamraz 4" steel cowl hood

Also could you tell me about the hood you have now? 4" lift off perhaps?
