so long story short someone either me or my wife left my hood unlatched and it hit my windshield. so the insurance adjuster is comeing out monday to look at the damage and i need to know some of the most expensive places to by hoods from. i bought mine of craigslist so i cant go with that lol. i have already checked cervini's and the dont make my hoods. the one i found closest was abc exclusive. anyways just let me know guys

Since i don't know what kind of hood you have, try:
Latemodelrestoration
MRbodykit
Harwood (probably pretty pricy)

HOfibertrends

I hate to say it, but the insurance company will probably only pay the price of a stock hood. Unless you have the customization endorsement on your policy.

Also for future reference I would talk to them about the OEM endorsement that makes them put on Factory parts not aftermarket or used parts.

Yea But Ford wants 450 Bucks for my tailight. So a OEM ford Hood has to be expensive.

 

[sbr420a]

hmmm i didnt think about that. well it is the 3 inch cobra rr hood.

 

[CanaryGT]

Ah they will probably give you a 500 Allowance.

that sucks! had that happen to my pos car last summer, but my hood was latched! you'll just have to talk to the insurance person to figure out about it not being a stock hood, sometimes they'll replace it with the same, but a lot of times they will try for the stock hood.

what is your deductable?

 

[94 DropTop]

It has happened to me twice(long story) just have them price a stock hood. trust me they are expensive.

 

[sbr420a]

my deductible is 500 i will do the paint my self. but it ended up hitting my windshield in case made the windshield hit my dash hard enough to crack it, in two spots. here is a hood i found i wanted.

he wants 200 for it now. so i should at least be able to get the hood, get it painted and get a new windshield.

I always liked those too. What kind of damage did it do to he cowl behind the hood? When I have seen it happened it always seemed like it did the most damage there.

 

[sbr420a]

didnt effect it at all.

 

[OnyxCobra]

yeah I really think a stock hood from Ford is gonna be pretty damn expensive.

 

[ryclef331]

ahem....hood pins....

 

[sbr420a]

ahem if you look close enough i do have hood pins. ahem lol i left them off.

 

[ryclef331]

Ouch! that sucks man. I've seen a handful of hoods fly up man. I'll never run a non-stock hood w/o them

 

[OnyxCobra]

Get a hood with a steel latch and you shouldn't need hood pins. the Cobra R hood from Ford Racing is like $525. All HO Fibertrend hoods have steel latches.

 

[MustangMoser]

That sucks man, most of the guys I know w/ hood pins put the clips back in the pins so that they have to take them back out to close the hood. Forces them to remember to put em back in.

Show them the cervini's piece. they sell a 2.5" version. they won't know the difference.
As far as needing a "custom" policy, no. trust me, if you bitch enough, they'll cave in. Maybe if you're trying to make some claim on an outrageous custom they will give you problems, but not over a hood.


For quality, H.O. Fibertrends ftw.
