Hey guys, I'm going to repaint my XJ but wondering if there are options out there for hoods like cowl induction or whatever that I could buy, any ideas?

 

There are tons of options out there. Also look into the FAB section to see what others on here have done themselves

 

I have looked for places selling hoods but couldn't find any. I would look on the fab section.

 

Most of the hoods I have seen have been fiberglass, there used to be someone out there that made cowl induction hoods out of steel (can't remember who, it was a long time ago), but they were discontinued or something. If you want cowl induction, your best bet will be to fab it yourself.

A few links...

Steel reflexxion domination cowl hood

 

That's the one I was thinking of. I do believe it is discontinued. Unless you find a site that has new old stock, it will be hard to find...

Also, go punch in the numbers in their cart...shipping is $299. Grand total of $732.99....even if they have it, that's ridiculous

 

Yikes!

 

No one sells any already done?

 

Did you even read the links? First one I posted has a link to a fiberglass one...however it is $589 without shipping.

Probably also going to be a custom order, so it will take time, and expect shipping to be outrageous.

For that kind of money you can get a decent welder, find a hood at the scrapyard, build your own, and be ahead...plus you'll have a welder for future projects.

 

Yes I did read the link but I meant a variation of goods, not just one.

 

Guess that means there's not a lot of options out there, LOL

Whatever you find expect to pay for it. Unles you can find a deal on CL or the bay...

 

Just cut yourself a hole in the hood. Go to Home Depot and get a mail box. Knock the bottom out of the mail box and pop rivet it to the hood. BOOM! Instant hood scoop! You're welcome.

 

^^^^ voted best advice ever ^^^^

 

I use to have this hood on my old jeep, wonder where it is today???
