Does cervini auto designs make hoods for our cars? I had one of their hoods on my 3rd gen and my Mustang GT. Top notch.

Here is a pic of the Harwood hood on my v6 DD in my sig... Awesome hood BTW. It is very durable and you can still see pretty good with it on the car. It sits at just the right height.
It has a ram air entrance at the front, kinda looks like the ss or a big block stinger hood but without the center stinger piece. And it goes into a cowl all the way back to the windshield...

I ordered that great looking ASCD cowl hood from LM Speed, a vendor, and its been amost a month and still waiting for it to ship . The wait isnt the big deal really - its just a hood - but I would like to have some kind of comforting and confirmation from them at least. Last email contact made was on 21st of November.

Should have paid a little more and bought direct from manufacturer

I have to say, the VFNs look best on the Camaro. The old school cowl flows nicer, IMO
