if the page doesnt come up right away its on page 203 in their online catalog. anyone have experience with them?

thanks,

do not buy a hood from them unless you want to aline your entire front end and prime and block forever there parts are very poorly made most of the time the the mounting plate inside are broken. you get what you pay for

i think so too. i was thinking were is says without "ram air package" it meant a non functional hood. but what your saying makes more sense to me. i'll give em a call tomorrow i see whats up.

thanks,
joe

UPDATE: i called certifit today. the hood for $165 is just the flat hood. the ws6 hood is $272, which still seems cheap but im going to pass it up...

I have bought several hoods from them. They aren't too bad. DEFINATELY worth it if you are on a budget and willing to prime and sand a little. Here are some pics of the hoods from Certifit I have seen personally. These are my friends cars.

Well they will give you a FULL refund, no matter how long ago the purchase was, as long as you still have the box and is not damageged or altered, with your reciept. I have done a LOT of business with them.

i just bought one and it fits very good even gaps etc. and as a tip if you dont want to pay for the grilles u can take an old air filter and cut the mesh off the top and fab up your on grilles paint them black and it looks awsome.

sounds good. do their hoods come ready to paint or do they need sanding and primer before paint? depending on how it looks i may leave it black..

^^sorry dude but your being cheap. the hood is a great price even at $272, the next best price for a ws6 hood is prob at least $500. and if you get the hood please paint it thats just tacky!

end rant

haha i know i know. i feel cheap. i was at the salvage yard looking for one the other day. only reason is because im on a tight budget due to college. otherwise i would buy a ws9 outlaw hood. but i will end up painting it myself. the more i look at it, it doesnt looks good black at all.

They come in a primer grey. Ugly as hell. And yes you definately need to prime and sand at least twice before you paint it.
