looking for a hood .

[redrocker]

hi , fellow stangers . i heard of a place in cincinnati that makes fiberglass hoods . does anybody know anything about them ? i called the number and the guy wouldnt really give me much info . also does anybody know if a 2000 mustang v6 in wired for fog lights or will i have to do it all ?

[mustangboy]

If it is Cincinnati Composites stay away from them, they are junk. From expierence I'd recomend HO Fibertrends, Dave makes a really nice product and is a super nice guy.

There is also a place in Mainville called Boss Inc. Saw there stuff at NMRA at Bus. They also make race 2 inch cowl hoods for Steeda for the 05+. But he sells hoods for any 04-. I have thier two inch cowl hood on my 06. High quality hoods.

Cinci. composite hoods are actualy quite nice now. He's changed his way of making them and using different molds and his hoods quality have really went up. I've seen some in the past that were complete crap...but the last few were really nice and straight...plus there alot cheaper...I think there well worth the money

i bought one from that guy last year. it was cheap, and i got what i paid for...but i needed a hood lol

i bought a hood from championhood.net for my 95 and it was very well built when my hood flew off my car it ripped out the hood hinges and is now back on my car!!!! it was only 250.00 for a 4in cowl hood

Mom has a hood from Champion Fiberglass on her 05... and I beleive the Pinks car had Matt Johnson's Champion Hood. It is pretty good stuff for the money.

WWW.HOFIBERTRENDS.COM <Great hoods he is up near columbus. Dave is a member here and a racer.

Boss Inc hoods are made in Cincinnati and they are well made and fit great.

all the guy would tell me was to call him when i got up there . when i pressed him he said to go 75 north of cincy get off on exit 7 and turn left look for dock 98 . does that sound like a place anybody knows ?

H.O. Fibertrends or Boss would be the way to go. I have a Boss hood on my car now and really like the look and fit of it. I had an HO in the past and had the same deal with it. Cinci composits are good for shooting at.

[facemelter71]

Do not buy from Cincy composites,even if they changed there molding technique its still junk.They use bondo to glue the two halves together and not fiberglass resin.They are known for seperating and flyin off on the highway.Hoods are trash,will not paint right,do not line up,and would take about 8-10 hours of prep work to even primer it,and thats not fitting it to the car.Spend your money else where.Oh and that place he told you to go is a small garage in norwood.Ive delt with them and in no way will i ever buy or send some one to them again.
Oh and Boss hoods are over in the Montgomery area and are really great quality hoods.

I have a Champion 3 cowl hood on my car and am very pleased with fit and finish.

Stay away from Cinti Composite. Dock 98

[redrocker]

thanks alot guys , can you tell me where champion and boss are at ? i lived in fairfield years ago so i know alittle about the area . i guess i should have known that if the price is to good it cant be a good part .

[92coupe]

champion fiberglass is on anthony wayne off paddock rd exit. 1 mile north of Cincy Speed

[Stang 38L]

My 2000 v6 was not max wired for fog lights, but its not hard to do. I can get you info for a guy who sells kits with OEM lights and switches.

Do you guys know if any of the above make a decent hood for '79-82 cars? I know Maier Racing sell one but it's really expensive.
