Recently someone had hit my car and crushed my driver side feneder. So while it's at the body shop I figured I might as well get some other work done too. My car is a 91 so it has those side skirts/trim/ground effects (whatever you wanna call them) and I want a STEEL cowl hood, or any steel hood. Anyone know a good place to get one?
The other thing is I hear 4 inch cowl hoods are hard to drive with, will this he the case for me? I'm 6'2" and I think I sit high enough in my car to be able to see over it, or would it still be a pain? This car is a daily driver for me. Thanks!

Oops forgot to include why I said my car has those ground effect thingys. Theyr both broken from the previous owner and I'm getting them replaced.

I have a Goodmark 4" cowl hood. It's easy for me I'm 6'0" but my wife at 5'0" hated it. personally if I did it again I would try to get a 2" if they make one. Over all I like it, the fit and finish is light years ahead of the POS Harwood hood I had plus it does not shake at speed.

From his town to mine it is 2 and half hour drive. Saves him $200 for the hood

I am in Howard Beach, Queens

I've been to queens a few times, it takes me about 4 hours or so to get there. Is it a camaro hood or firebird? Idk if I included that I have a firebird and I think I saw that you have a camaro. And what's a 2 inch cowl look like? I wanna make sure it stands out a bit.

I used to live in Allentown and spent some of my childhood in a little place called Perkiomenville. A one horse town in the sticks. Loved it.


Sorry, but I could not find a steel cowl hood for a Firebird.
Here's my 2in Steel Cowl Hood from Goodmark. It slopes up to 3" at the rear vent. Gives you some idea as to what a 2" Cowl would look like.

It says that hood weighs 132 lbs!! Is that really what they weigh or are they including the shipping crate too?

I used the Auto Metal Direct steel hood from Summit Racing it was $400 with shipping looks a lot like the good mark hood.I have the 2" and have no problems seeing over it.the hood fit real good and needed no bodywork

Here is the AMD hood on my car

It is a heavy hood. That is probably the shipping weight though. My hood doesnt feel 132lbs, I recently removed it for my LSx mod. My friend who helped said it was a heavy hood.
