I agree with this. I purchased a cowl hood for my Nova and the price isn't bad but the fit and finish lacks. After hours and hours of adjusting the front sheet metal I still have a rather large gap at the back of the hood at the cowl. That's about as good as it'll get with out adding fiberglass. On top of that the underside of the hood is unfinished (see pics). Also I'm not to fond of the bracing that goes right through the middle of the hood. I have seen other companies make the brace contour to the hood. It just isn't worth all the extra work just to save a little bit of money. Now I am ranting.
