*Cervini Hood People*

[whiplash473]

i gotta cervini ram air hood but it doesnt latch right.....i thought it was just the way they are but i know theres a couple other people ive seen on here with the same hood without hood pins.....anyone with a cervini hood can you post a pic of the striker hole so i can just see if mine's like way different or if i need to just do a little modification to make mine work......thanks folks

You should keep the hood pins on there regardless imo...brother raced a cobra down in ocean city with his ss and the cobras hood slapped its windshield right when the light turned...needless to say it wasn't a good end result with an aftermarket hood

you can have them mounted down into the grill area rather then up through the hood if you do not like the look. I am not big on them either but I can see the form following the function here.

 

[whiplash473]

yeah that already happened to me but i see now that i shouldnt need them.....if i liked them i wouldnt care but i hate them......only reason i got em is cuz the hood dont latch right

 

[whiplash473]

scott what do you mean mounted down into the grill area?

 

[Mrstangerbanger]

I had the same hood when you install it you are suppose to move the latch on your mustang .. So knock out the rivets and move the latch . Go on there web site for instructions .. Hope that helps

 

[whiplash473]

yeah ill check it out right now

 

[whiplash473]

yeah maybe mine's just not adjusted correctly.....its gotta be.....i'll have to mess with it when i get done with the hood.....never thought to check the site.....thanks stangbang

my hood didnt line up with the latch at first either. it's a different hood but still had to do some adjutments. there are 2 8mm bolts...1 is directly behind your radiator cover, the other is in plain site. those are the bolts that i used to move my whole latch around with. i got it perfect with those 2 bolts. easy as pie

 

[whiplash473]

im gonna be nervous as **** that its gonna fly up again especially since the windshield is only like a year and a half old and the hood will have new paint

 

[ScottyDsntKnow]

I'll get a pic of mine tonight. Mine latches great and is tight, it is a bit of a pain to unlatch. I mean the thing unlatches but then when I reach under there to get it the rest of the way that is when its a pain. I don't see this one coming up at speed though.

cool thanks

I have an aftermarket hood and have no concern of it flying up at all.. Didnt have to move the latch and it came with a nice reinforced metal plate where the latch attaches. Once the car sees the track as a dedicated track car it will get hood pins way down the line. but for now i dont care. this hood as seen 110+ so.. ide say im ok lol.

I dislike Cervini.... As long as i own a mustang.. I will do everything i can to not buy one of their products.

 

[whiplash473]

whys that shifty? personal thing or past experience?

 

[96TANGERINEGT]

Yea , Idk . I just don't like how hood pins look tho. Why is it that stock hoods never have the problem of flying up .

 

[whiplash473]

aftermarket anything is never as good as stock or oem......everything from a hood to a door

 

[KidK9]

I have the same hood as you. I hate it. It takes forever to close the stupid thing. Always bounces back up. Annoying.

 

[whiplash473]

if you ever wanna get a new hood let me know i'll take that one off your hands

 

[KidK9]

My Cervinis that's the same as yours? I'm actually looking to get a new hood.

 

[whiplash473]

yeah my hood is fawked so if i could grab yours i'd just respray it instead of putting all the work im putting into mine
