They are infamous in the mustang world for being the biggest piece of garbage hood you can buy.... theyve changed their name like 6 times to cover their tracks. They used to be cincinatti composites and a few other names i cant quite remember right now.

in case you didn't see the above posts, DON'T BUY FROM THAT COMPANY! They steal hood designs, and produce low low quality hoods.
There are guys on here who couldn't even get professional bodymen to get the hood to look decent.
They are the reason i put "real superhawk hood" in my signature. I got tired of everyone PMing me, asking if my hood was a real u.s. exotics or the ebay knock off. Those *** clown produce a 1/2 *** version of the superhawk hood, actual it's not even 1/2 *** its 1/4 ***.
And if you do a search you will find that the only thing worse than the quality of their hoods, is their custom service. I believe they told a member on here to "f*ck off" or something of that nature.

dont do it i bought one after only reading good things on this site about them, my hood is warped and none of the body line will match up, complete crap!
the seller also has some kinda of feedback scam going on as well he has a "consistent good" feedback from selling cheap coins but if you look at the buyers of the coins there's only like 10 different ppl buying them all the time over and over, i reported him to ebay but i guess nothing happend

I've heard some say there's fit fine with minimal work for it to fit right but more people have said there horrible and couldn't get it to fit even half way decent for the life of them like stated above and that was enough for me to stay away and save my pennies for a hood from a reputable place like VFN, Harwood, etc.

i bought 2 hoods from them.
a 87mustang pin-on and it was a pos. too flemsy.
then a 99-04 mustang bolt-oin 4" cowl hood. it was decent except my hinges had to be bent to fit into the threaded holes to hold the hood down. they kept offering to send me new hinges like 5 times but i never get anything. and then one of the threaded holes come un-done from the fiberglass. too much headache.

when buying a hood get one from a good company, if you get some cheap *** knock off i will tell you it will fit like total crap.i got mine from vfn and when i had it painted the guy told me it was the best quality after market hood he has ever seen , you get what you pay for,what is a 200 dollar hood when a body shop will charge you 3x that much just to try and make it work,and it will still look like junk

I just picked one of these hoods up today. Honestly, I got exactly what i expected. I mean im not impressed with the fiberglass finish of the hood, but i see nothing "garbage" about the hood, yeah the hardware is pretty much junk but i mean hardware isnt that expensive, im surprised it came with any bolts anyway. Like somebody said above me, i will have to modify the hinges to get the back of the hood to sit down about a half inch, but other than that ive just had to move it around a little just like any other fiberglass hood ive ever dealt with. I do my own body work and looking at this hood, i dont think it is a bad deal at all for $200. I say if you can do your own body work, go for it. It is just going to take a little adjusting and a little sanding, thats all.

Well I got the SSV2 SS hood from their for my 94' Camaro because I was tight on money and time to finish my project. I was like 10 minutes away from Cincinnati so I just picked it up myself. I had to modify the hinges just a little and I removed the cheap *** bolts it came with and replaced them with some more durable bolts as well as washers. Overall the hood looks damn good after the sanding priming painting and 4 layers of clear coat. Not a bad idea as long as you know how to prep and paint. I can post some pictures of mine if anyone is interested.

they are cheap, you get what you pay for, it will need fiberglass, a lot of adjusting, and work. not a true bolt on and go... i just bought one trust me
