calling all cobra r hood owners...

Thats the same hood i got ... Mine is HO fibertrends... but they are the ones who made the Original Factory 95 R Hoods... Mine is super light weight... Lighter than Carbon Fiber. Very nicelookinghood though

After seeing Blackened302's hood, how can I not go with that one!! That looks pretty sweet! I like the shorter cowl size, too. The bigger ones look great, they're just not for mine though.

The Ford R hoods have a cutout on just the left side of the cowl. I believe the Cervinis R hood has a cutout on both sides. Here's my R hood take-off.

is the underside of your hood finished? Also where did you buy your hood from? and how much did it run ya, if you don't mind my asking...?

 

[OnyxCobra]

The underside of my hood is not finished, it was just unpainted fiberglass. I had it painted semigloss when the hood was painted though. I bought the hood off a guy that got it off a real Cobra R. I paid $380 for it.

Here's how it looked stock:

Same one from HO, i have to say that these are the lightest hoods in existance. i'm scared that its gonna fly off and away... gotta get hood pins.

 

[OnyxCobra]

The hood is extremely light, i can lift mine with 2 fingers pretty easily. The steel hood latch gives piece of mind that it's not going to fly up when used without hood pins.

And yes, the factory R hoods were made by HO Fibertrends.

yep thats were i got mine and they were addament about it too anyway, when i'm going down the interstate about 80 i see the hood shaking .... it don't make me feel good.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Interesting, I havn't noticed my hood shaking. I've had it to 110mph and it seemed solid as a rock, does your hood latch tightly?

 

[voidfinger]

Yea its pretty tight... I know that my car is in need of some suspention repair.... That might and is probably it... but still i would like to get the ford stainless one with lanyards or whatever... i think they look hot plus the add security isn't bad either

don't know how I missed this...

3" not sure from where:

looks awesome!

 

[trav_19]

i want a solid quality one i dont want to have to use hood pins if i do i might as well save 200 bucks and get a pin on hood lol...im almost positive im getting cervinis...they say its 3.5" but that seems huge does anyone have a cervinis cobra r to tell me if it is 3.5"?

 

[OnyxCobra]

Are you talking about part #117? They say it has a total lift of 3.5" but it looks the same as my R hood, i'd say it would be the same.
