Need new hood/front end!!!!!! Looking for sale and advice! Okay I need a new hood and was looking at a few options.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-97...Q5fAccessories
of COURSE this is in CA, on the other end of the USA. I was wondering if anyone on here had a hood that is NOT the stock firebird hood for sale near NC. I don't mind having the ram air, smooth hood or the formula hood. If I cant find one on here I am going to go ahead and get something aftermarket like this

I just want something new, and figured I might as well get the front end done, it has some defects from a collision that happened a while back.
1- How difficult is it to remove and change out a front bumper?
2- Would the trans am (with foglight holes) fit on the firebird without having to swap out quarter panels or anything?

i would highly recomend VFN for hoods bro, they are honest, fast, and reliable. i would not buy a ebay hood 9/10 dont fit correctly where vfn's are always flawless. i have gotten 6 hoods from VFN with not a single issue. and LS1tech members get a nice discount

you need to be careful because a lot of ebay hoods are going to take a lot of prep work. take that second link for example, notice how the ram air holes aren't even cut out?

I bought a ebay ss hood off a guy on craiglist for $150 at the begining of the year, let me tell you it fit like crap and was super wavy. I had to butcher my hood hinges to get it to fit somewhat decent but it still looked bad, so I ended up putting my original hood back on.
I have heard great thing about vfn though. I think when you order the hood you mention that your an ls1tech member and you get the discount.
