Default Has anyone bought this hood from this guy?

I am trying to figure out if it is a good find, I like the look of the superhawk, but want to make sure it fits and he isnt a hustler.

Thanks

fit.. yeah.. about that.. it fits like a$$. 40 hours of work on the hood that arrived with a broken nose peice, and they wouldn't replace it. after that the entire front of the hood aside from where it meets the headlights is 1" short, side to side it doesn't fit right either, right side is about 5/8" too short. the arc falls off way to hard at the end, and mine had more prep work than you would ever expect a hood to need, many holes to be filled in and the resin molding the two peices together looked like a two year old burshed it on. Want me to rant some more? I can... ';..;'. Save yourself the trouble spend more money on a different/better hood. Mine stays up at car shows so you can't see the crap fitment. Instead you get to look at the underside that has bolts that dont want to stay in it unless you add extra nuts inside the hood. No hood struts for me, thirty minutes in the sun was all it took for the struts to rip out the mounting bolts for that...

/end rant - The hood does look awesome on the car if I didn't mind the fitment *shrug* plan to spend a ton of extra $$$/time on prep tho
