Cowl Hood... yes or no

and also a sig/avatar test just cause...


Anyway...

2 1/4" Harwood Cowl, lift off (not bolt on with a hood latch) ...

anyway... the question is... should I get it or no? its only $200, no shipping, just have to waltz down and pick it up...

just wondering what y'all think about it...

my old stock fiberglass hood is about to snap in two...

Actually the choice should have been:

* Buy a set of SFC's instead

namely, mine!

Wish me luck on my final tonight!

lmao... because I don't care for a huge cowl when I have no use for one...

that and I think unlimited products hoods are crap

this one is easy to get, its about 50% of the cost of buying a brand new one from harwood... and its brand new still

not that i know of, I just bounce from board to board.

I just don't like their quality of hoods... they're fairly weak in my experience and they're unfinished as well...

the harwood is prepped and gel coated already so it just needs a slight trim at the front and some paint.

What kind is Brad's hood?

All I know about the Harwoods is that you're supposed to sand down the gel coating before you paint it and you're supposed to trim and sand down the lip of the hood so it matches the stock lines...

Basically I was just going to sand and get some coating and go painting it whenever...

The hood is down in Tacoma so maybe we can organize getting together for lunch or something... who knows hehe

still not 100% I'ma get it yet
