Cowl Hood weld in suggestions or where to buy

Post by 81s »

Wondering if anyone found a weld in cowl for our cars since we haven't convinced maverick man to make us one. Looking for something pretty much like his hoods but in steel to weld in or sonoco style maybe.

Does the G8 hood interchangeable with ours?
Someone must be making a bolt on hood for our PPVs. I'll post a picture of one of a customer who comes here where I had my steelies widened.

This guy imports the style of hood in the pic below. It’s fiberglass and he gets $1100 for them

Love that Burgundy color. I think I'll continue looking at the options from Trackspec Motorsports . They seem to have a good selection of hood louvers, even though they don't offer much protection from water entering the top of your motor, luckily we don't get much rain over here. Lol

Is that the cowl from spoilers and body kits?

was looking at it but said for Caprice some modifications may make it fit, was wondering how extensive those modifications are and what they are.
