Opinions on H.O. Fibertrends Hoods
Well since I have decided to keep the '94 GT I am going to finish what I had planed for her. I have a Cobra nose and I think I have decided to go with the Cobra R hood. I was looking at the H.O. Fibertrends Cobra R hood for its price and if I remember right they built the original Cobra R hoods.
Would like to hear and positives or negatives from people with first hand knowledge.
Thanks!

I sell a lot of his hoods, I have a few in the showroom currently. I use his hoods on my two race cars, and a bunch of other cars I've had in the past. I highly recommend them. the fitment is very good, and the quality is top notch, especially in the latch area.
Let it sit outside in the sun for a few days before putting it on or getting it painted. It allows the fiberglass to finish shrinking before paint is applied. I do this with every hood I get.

Dave makes nice stuff....plus his shop is just up east of columbus....so you can drive up to pick a hood up to save the shipping costs.

If I ever decide to put a hood on my '94 I'd def. go with a Cobra Double R... good choice on keeping the car and on the hood
Spoilers Suck!
I LOVE mine, its even better than the pricey as hell one i bought from harwood for my camaro.
The hood on my 95gt in my signatire is an h.o. barely did any prep work just sanded and painted and it looks like a steel hood.

I have an H.O. on my car and it fits great. I thought about getting the harwood because its a little taller but they hit the windshield before they go all the way up. They are a lot more money to. I bought my cobra nose from plated and had him paint the hood, nose, and the car all at once and I love the way it turned out. Post pics when its done! I love an sn95 with fresh paint!

H.O. makes some of the nicest, I woulda bought one if I coulda afforded it. I also want plated to do my car, just gonna get some big work done on it first, chassis, suspension, motor and tranny. Basically pulling the radiator cap and setting a new car under it lmao!

All the H.O. hoods I have painted have been scuff and shoot. Very high quality and you really can go wrong with them.

Are you planning on running hood pins? I know with most hoods they recomend them.
I am looking at the 3.5in Hood from them for my 95.
If so what kind of hood pins? I like the twist locks. I've seen to many of the other kind rust.

I plan on getting a bolt down and use the OEM latch...not a big fan of the hood pins on street cars.

From other sites I've read lately, most recommend pins with aftermarket hoods.
I plan on using the factory mounting points also.
I just don't want to chance having to hood come up on me while going down the road.
I know the HO is reinforced with aluminum as there site says.
