RPM 1,190 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 A poster on another forum claims that the Corvex brand hood trim from Mustangs Unlimited is a perfect fit. My experience in searching for a nice hood trim on several forums and talking with NPD is that an acceptable repop hood trim does not exist. Does a anyone have any knowledge of the Corvex piece? I sure hope the trim is as nice as he claims. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJC 15 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 I have heard the same responses that an after market just doesn't fit. I will be curious on the replies. I contacted Daniel Carpenter awhile back and they did inform me they would be tooling up to make a Ford licensed hood lip molding in the future but didn't have a specific date when they would be available.

Alan_Mac 48 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 The Corvex hood trim I bought from NPD is total garbage. The shape is incorrect and the thickness of the material couldn't be any thinner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rsanter 152 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 I think that's the one I have still new in the package. Tried it and it's crap Want to try mine? Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 90 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 I have no idea what brand I have as it was out of the package when I got it but it fits fine. I got it from mustang1 in sapulpa, ok. I got it about 3 yrs ago so they may have changed suppliers by now but who knows. I had it on my hood until I tore my car down to redo it and the fit was nice. Its just on a shelf for now until I get to the reassembly stage. You may give them a call and see what brand they have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rcodenewf 44 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Tried the Corvex on my 69 fastback and the fit and finish was just terrible. I got lucky and came across an original in the wrapper. :) John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 MTF, that makes sense coming from a shop. Validates why one guy loves it, and another hates it. Thanks to all. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Mac 48 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 As I remember the curve on the front and the taper from the middle to the ends was wrong. How can it be hit or miss with stamped and formed hard tooling? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 i had ordered two corvex hood moldings for a 69 and a dynacorn (didn't have a corvex plastic wrapper). all of them had the same poor overall shape. bending into shape would have heavily distorted the area at the hood peak and looked bad. the one corvex piece did have really nice sharp bends where the retainer clips sit. the other two pieces were horrible.

BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 The ones we get from Dynacorn "Corvex" are hit and miss. there was a black modded 69 at the columbus swap meet last fall that appeared to be done by MTF. i specifically looked at the hood molding on that car and its mate to the hood. was that a repop?

det0326 179 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 Haven't got this far with my car yet but will have to use repop or find good used ones if possible because these pieces didn't come with my car. So I don't know any answers either. You know all these suppliers are getting complaints yet still consistently keep making them wrong. Do you think there using the repop hood as a pattern to make them and the contour is different than the OEM hood. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it was. Since we were painting it we were able to tweak it to fit. The one we installed on the Boss 429 fit like a glove. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SWPruett 83 Report post Posted March 16, 2014 Guys, I see where Goodmark also offers a hood molding. Is this the same piece as all the others? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
