Yeah man..they're a notable body shop too so lets hope it looks good!

The oem hood is metal. I got it from a guy on the board . Im glad I was able to get it, it's really going to make the car look good

They are also painting the tail panel black for me for like 20 bucks, and they said they should be able to leave the scoop black. It's going to look sorta like a zl-1, especially when i get my new grille

That's a great price man...

I was quoted ~$400 just to repaint my front bumper...

Go with either black or chrome for your insert...

Hey guys..i put the black SS hood on it actually looks kinda cool all black. What do you think about painting the hood black and painting the trunk/spoiler/tail panel black
like the whole to pof the car black, like one big stripe. Just a thought, feedback please

Ill get some pics of the hood tom.
