As crude as you guys think Brad sounds, he's dead right.
Why would you want to use sub-par parts when there are better options available?
Also, saying that not everybody can afford the highest quality parts is foolish. You can afford anything, some people just have to save up longer than others.
jbgmachine, if you're interested in a cowl hood, check this thread out, you can make one yourself.

time to with in, as for the hood, I do like it (may look into one) but personally I don't think they will help in any fashion as the area above the hood is more or less a "dead air" zone so any ram air hoods won't really do much except for looks honestly. If you like the style go for it!
as for the Bronco if its a same model year body style as the 92-95, 96/97 HD trucks (not sure what year ranges for broncos would qualify) you should be good to go as far as bolt on abilities….
anyways shop around and enjoy your truck thats what I do

Have you ever used any of our products before?
We stand behind the quality and fitment of all of our products but you are correct when saying they do not come paint ready. They come with a black primer finish that will have to be removed then sprayed with a paintable primer and then painted like normal.

Is your comment based on first hand experience? Believe it or not, your cherished Cervini brand isn't the only company on the face of the earth that makes quality products. You have a lot of knowledge and experience but your attitude that any brand other than the ones you use are crap wears a bit thin.
Edited to add: You also need to be aware that not everybody can afford the highest quality parts. Sometimes people need to make due with lower priced parts just to keep their vehicle running and on the road.

Yes, FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE. I am lucky enough to have the ability to do body work(unlike many) which saves me A LOT of $$$$ in labor and material
Now for "not everybody can afford the highest quality parts"
Fine, you " can't " afford to buy a cervini hood.
Go spend $499 on the POS hood + freight. See it fits like crap and have to pay the freight to return it.
OR.....
Pay a body shop to "fit " it at $50+ and hour. Then paint the hood. Then STILL NOT BE PLEASED with how it turned out.
I am sorry, but I do NOT have money to throw away like that. I have LEARNED from my mistakes and it would behoove you to learn from them as well.
So I will put it this way and maybe you can understand it.
If you can't afford to do it RIGHT, then you REALY can't afford to do it a second time.

Obviously a hood doesn't fall into that category. But if a guy is short on money and willing to take the time to clean it up in order to get it to look half decent, why not.
