I want to get a cowell hood from Honest charlies but would like some input on the quality of these hoods . Not sure if I want the steel or fiberglass. I would like to get input on both. Thanks

Don't go with the fiberglass. You'll wish you got the steel instead. Get the steel cowl hood. They are top quality and they are Goodmark hoods. When you buy a Goodmark cowl hood from HC they are drop shipped direct from Goodmark to you. With your 10% ECC discount it's the cheapest price around for a Goodmark hood. Try to have it shipped to a business address. You'll save about $50 on the shipping.

I agree, steel hoods are a much better idea. With fiberglass, there are most always fit-a-ment issues and it can take several hours of body work to make it right.

Since the steel hood is availible go with that, I don't think you'll be dissappointed.

Go ahead with HC i got mine from there and it took about a week to get to me and fit perfect. Plus only took about 10 minutes to line up and i was ready to go.
