After-market hoods

[FtLaudBlkGT]

Anyone recommend a good brand for after-market hoods? I am looking for a cowl hood...

mine is a steel ebay special that fit perfectly... you can always search flebay for one... or in the back of street truck magazine has tons of adds.... can't think of brands right now...

I found a nice one on ebay for $400...$200 shipping. It may have been fiberglass though.

I want one, like the one walnuts' has... or anything that has a cool look to it with a little aggressiveness. Idk, I want a lot of things, I need to open some multi million dollar business to pay for all the crap that I want. I'm like a kid in a candy store

yeah the one i saw on ebay was a functional twin scoop...saved it in my favorites...

FYI vis racing hood fitments are close to crap. I had their hood on my 2010 G37 and paid alot to have it fit right

so thats a NO GO?

I would find a steel hood.... 100% better fitment and paint lays a lot nicer on them...

I wouldnt, plus I remember my body guy having to redo the underneath with all the wiper crap, different car but you get the picture. I also remember the gap between the grille and the hood was noticable

It say's that it has a functional scoop, but if you look at All the pics really close you can see that no holes have been cut out at all. So if there are no holes in the scoops then how is it a functionall scoop.

But fiberglass hoods SUCK anyways they are a PITFA to try to get lined up and no matter what you do, you will never be happy with the fitment.

If you are going to drop the cash to do it make sure to get a steel hood .
