Default ebay hoods?

Just wondered if anyone had experience with these. They appear to be built like the vfn sunoco hoods, but the price makes me wonder if they are a quality piece. Thinking of trying one out, but figured I'd ask around before I make my decision! Any info will be appreciated! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fiber...Q5fAccessories

I actually made the huge thread awhile back about the hoods and company. It turns out that they buy popular hoods and then reproduce them at a much lower cost. They rip off the original maker.

That hood is a direct ripoff of VFN's sunoco hood. Numerous people have voiced their complaints about that company, I would strongly advise you do not go with that product.

Just take a look at their feedback. Anything less than 99.9% tells me they're doing something wrong and they may not be trustworthy. Sure, every vendor is going to **** off someone sooner or later, but at the very least I would read into the negative feedback and try to get a feeling for how this seller might treat you...
