Goodmark @ $886 (plus $134 shipping - $1,020 total) - Goodmark GMK4049200911
Interested in your thoughts related to quality, fitment, any mods required, fender hood alignment and ultimately if the Goodmark hood is worth the premium
. . . and if anyone has a recommendation on where to buy or selling one used.
Finally - if you could post any pics of you cars with cowl hoods it would be appreciated.
Thank you

My review will be quite dated as I got the Goodmark when putting together my son's project car 20 years ago. An add-on scoop was simply not an option, and any fiberglass hood was a 'do not want' due to all the poor fit stories. I was not favoring a honking 3" style, so the GM came with good reviews and it had the added bonus of a tame true 2" ht.
Two angles:

The fit using original hinges was/is perfect, and accepted an F-body cleaner kit just as well:

I read some post on the Monte Forum a year ago that the holes are too small to permit adequate CFM if using a true cowl intake. The last time it was running it had a fuss opening the rear butterfly so either I just have the spring wound too tight or something to check on more seriously and no big woop to drill some/all out accordingly. Overall, 5x5 score.

Great pictures, the 5 out of 5 score on the Goodmark is helpful and thank you for the reply.

Subscribed: I am also wanting the 2” cowl hood. The 4” is too obvious for what I want for the car. If my car actually becomes road worthy, I need TCE brakes and one of those 2” hoods.

Update - so I did some digging, sent some messages and made some phone calls.
Confirmed that both these hoods come from the exact same supplier.
In this instance Goodmark buys this hood from KeyParts . . . in other instances KeyParts buys from Goodmark.
So buy the hood that you can get at the lowest price as they are exactly the same
