SS Hood Since i graduated high school today 
: , my parents are gonna buy me an SS hood for my graduation present. I have few ?'s about it.
1. Where can i find a genuine, or as close to the actual hood as i can. RKS sport or GM, whats the diff?
2. I have an SLP high flow air lid, when i get the ss hood, in order to make the scoop functional do i need to do something to the lid? If not would it make more sense to buy a non functional hood scoop, if so where could i get one?
3. Rks Sport, GM, or fibertek whos got the best quality. Price isnt an issue, i want quality.
I have a 2000 Z-28 a4.

Congrats on the graduation...
If you want quality and zero fitment issues then order it from GM (i.e. SDPC). Now seal the deal and have your parents pay for the paint job as well.

I have a whisper Lid, I did not have to do any mods to the Lid. Although I am wondering if I can get a higher raised Air Lid like on a WS6 but I dont know if it will fit. I thing americansportscardesign make's a good aftermarket hood.
