I dunno. Like I always say about body parts, if it ain't OEM it's more than likely a POS; you get what you pay for...

Yeah i would not trust that company, just changed ownership Jan 1, not been around long enough to even have a rep. Get an oem hood or don't get one at all.

I would just go with a VFN hood, they're a sponsor on this site. And they make real quality pieces.
