[pimpedout97x]

anyone got one for a 2nd gen and have a pic? or in general any pics of cowl hoods, id like to see the difference in the 2 3/4" hood vs like the 4 3/4" and even the 6"

if i recall, racinjason ordered one from here wayyyyyyyy back, cant remember the size if the cowl though.

ive always wanted a cowl hood though.

when did you get that? it was really that off? did you tell the company about it??

got it from up22 yea it was really that off. i did complain to them several times but nothing was ever done about it
i plan on making a reall cowl hood out of the stock hood and metal

It looks great though. Props for the patience to get it right.

I wish these hoods actually fit. They advertise them for explorers, so they should fit....right? I didn't think the ranger and explorer hoods were interchangeable.

I guess I will just have to get a first gen. lol

I've never heard of any fiberglass hood for any car that was just bolt on and paint regardless if it is specifically made for the vehicle.

that hood wont fit a 98? why?

that hood wont fit a 98? why?

...because it wont fit a 95-97 either. Read above, they had to do some significant modifications to get it to fit right.
