One of my old beretta buddy's had that hood and a mixed up body kit on his beretta, sadly, it never got finished and rusted out, got scrapped with most of the body kit. Oh how I miss my beretta days

The last time i saw it the car was white but that was a long time ago and i don't think he was on any forums.

was the guy your talking about screen name "Chance"? and it was all blue and primer? and he made a fiberglass deck lid? lol

I think my Harwood 4" cowl hood is around 40 lbs.. MUCH lighter than the stock steel hood.


About 10 years ago there was a local guy with that exact hood you are talking about on his Beretta, it looked decent but he also had some random body kit so it all worked together well. With a Beretta you have a very good but pricey option http://www.usbody.com/ click on Beretta in the left side.

I'm not sure which hood it was because it was too many pictures to sift through, but as far as performance, assuming its fiberglass that would be weight reduction.....and considering my hood weighs 30 lbs now after I removed the substructure(originally a bolt on hood, but the steel threaded inserts were missing) I think it weighed like 45 before, probably 10 of that was what I believe to be mud sandwiched between the two layers......o.O :eek7(the substructure had hollow areas, but how did it get in there.....) anyway, my stock hood weighed at least 60, if not 80.....but additionally since I utilized the glass hood in pin on configuration, I removed the latch assembly, the cable and pull handle, and the lift hinges and shocks, but honestly fiberglass hoods don't make nearly as much of a difference on cars with small hoods, camaros of any gen have huge hoods......its like one of their things...
I've removed at least 150 if not 200 lbs from my car, which is .15-.2 in a 1/4, and equivalent to 15-20 hp I think, so yes performance, though not engine related....

As far as style, my rule of thumb is do what you like and it will make YOU happy, and thats what matters cause its your car, my hood is one that people are either love or hate the look of, I think it looks awesome, my mother and her bf do not, but it doesn't bother me because I didn't get it for ., I got it for me because I like it

LOL but I was told flame stickers add about 10hp. LOL. But yea saw it and thought I would ask.

[bob442]

those hoods wernt suppous to be made anymore, there a little to aggressive and rice looking hood in real life. the site looks a little shady too, probably some guy who finds the manufatures of all the hoods and re-sells them with markup, where as you can buy them from the manufacture 95% of the time

wrong section too, this is about as much perfromance as adding stickers lol
