niceguy678us Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Can you guys direct me to the company that makes the fiberglass cowl induction hoods with the metal hood "skeleton" underneath the fiberglass "skin". I would like to find this particular one, saw one very rescently on ebay and liked the idea of the metal reinforcement, and retaining the stock hinges and latch. I never liked the look of hood pins and would like to avoid this if at all possible. Also would you also know of the quality of these hoods, I've heard that over a few years fiberglass tends to seperate from the metal it is bonded to. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

jaime240z Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I am also interested in the answer to this question. I've seen a few pictures of hybridz on this site with cowl induction hoods, but which brand is most recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 There were several posts on this already with a couple of links as well. Look them up in the Paint and body maybe??? Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy678us Posted December 12, 2002 Author Share Posted December 12, 2002 Yes but, no one gave any info on the construction of the hoods, just who still made them. I am looking for a specific type, and asking about the durability of this type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Well as far as the metal skeleton I don't remember seeing any like that at all. They are mostly the pin on sytle. There was on listed that had a nice one for 500.00 but I don't recall it saying how it mounted. There isn't a Huge market for Z cowled hoods so the selection will be minimal at best I am afraid.

John Washington Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I thought I replied to this thread, but I may have been replying to an individual who emailed me directly. If it is a Subtle Z hood you saw, the reinforcement is fiberglass. It was molded off the original Z reinforcement, thus it looks like it. Hope this helps clear up the confusion!
