Default Cowl hood question?

Does Glasstek make a 2 3/4 colw hood? If so, where can I find it? Also does anyone know anything (positive or negative) about the American Sports Car Design 2.5 cowl hood? I am getting one very soon and would like to know which one to get. Thanks in advanced. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I have the cowl hood from American Sports Car Design and i was not happy with the hood.. Took alot of work on underside of hood to make smooth.. Very bad joints where the fiberglass meets together.. Also had to drill new holes to make hood fit on brackets.. Hope that helps..

when you are dealing with aftermarket fiberglass hoods, nothing is going to be just right. you will have to do some work to it, that's just the way it is. had to get mine fitted for the car. you have to deal with it if you want a fiberglass hood. Hope this helps.

Oh, and I don't think Glasstek makes a cowl hood that small for our cars. I had the 4" on my car for a while.

Thanks for the replies guys and gals. Lyndia, I have seen your pics before. Looks good, but I just wanted something a little less as far as height. Thanks for the info on Amer. Sports Car Design. Well, maybe VFN or Harwood.
