Mecham is one of those companies where you either love 'em or hate 'em.

Personally, i think their hoods are badass looking. But, i wouldnt purchase one being ive heard way too many horror stories of their quality being straight crap when it comes to fitment, customer service and all that.

Not tryin to flame anyone that owns, or works for Mecham, just letting someone else know that some people have had a problem w/ certian products of theirs.

Mecham quality definitely has issues. See site (webshots link on pic page) in sig for pics of my old car. Awesome looking hood from 10+ feet away. Fragile POS any closer...
