Default Anyone found this hood anywhere else?

Ok, well I was just wondering if this hood is anywhere other than Fbodymotorsports.com, its a little over 1grand there, in my opinion is a rediculous amount to pay for a hood..Any suggestions?

You'll be paying a hell of a lot more than a grand if you buy that crap! Look around here, I have a link to my website that shows how bad that hood cracks and pitmarks everywhere. Total junk!

Don't know from personal experience but I know I have seen more than one thread on here about how crappy the quality is on that hood.

Yeah, thanks guys, I did a little research, fairly disgusted in the hood...Paying 1grand just to get **** on...I like the hood I have (2001 SS Camaro), but, was looking for something a little different, I thought about putting the ws6 trans am hood on, but im not really sure..I may just keep the SS hood..
Anyways, thanks for the help

A T/A hood will not fit on a Camaro anyway.

They make a similar 4 port extractor hood for the camaro. The quality issue applies to the manufacturer, not the shape of the hood.

EDIT: Oh wait, you were probably referring to the WS6 hood comment. He probably meant the "Double Vision" hood which has ws6 nostrils on a camaro hood. I kind of lik it, but at the same time the hood looks so much better on a trans am.
