Cowl hood for 1986 Capri????

[reborn 86]

Is there a manufacturer that makes a say 2" (or close to it) cowl hood for the 86 Merc Capri?

There was one that did it but the name of them escapes me at the moment.

I have no experience with any of them but there are these options:

Champion makes a 3"

H.O. Fibertrends has a 2.5"

There can't be but a couple of places actually making them, so this is probably one that Jeff has listed already, but Late Model Restoration lists one in the catalog too - http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...Induction-Hood

Maier Racing also has a 2.5" cowl hood for the Capri. P/N 7986CC $439.95.

http://www.maierracing.com/ Click on the "Catalog" button on the left side, then "79-04 Mustang", then "Fiberglass", then "Hoods".

Hope that helps!

I'll check into the LMR one. I like the bolt on fact without the hood pins.

Thx everyone!

I have the H.O Fibertrends for my 85 Capri, very well built bolt on hood! Requires very little prep work!

I wish they made more hoods for capris. I wouldn't mind a 4 inch. Any body know the fitment quality of the champion 3 inch hood.

I have the HO fibertrends one. Very happy with it, required very little prep work. My major disapointment was lack of the Capri hood vents in them here's a link to my write up on the solution:

Funny, with shipping straight from HO Fibertrends, the hood is $25 more than if I bought from 50Resto. Price is $100 more, but 'free' shipping. Shipping to me from HO is $125....

I have always thought about one of these, especially after seeing Mike Crokes...

I have a Maier one on my '79 Capri. Been on there since 1993.

Thats a sweet looking capri ya got there. And if my eyes arent decieving me, the fact that you put a bubble back on it makes you way cooler in my book!

^^^ Sure...rub it in!

It'd look cooler like this.....

i like the look of both of them. I'll research both of them more (fitment isues, prep work, will accept factory hardware). edman and Croke...both cars look amazing BTW. I'm hoping to get close to yours one day.
