Default Are SLP hoods any good

How is the finish and fitment of SLP hoods .I am thinking about getting an SLP Ram Air HO hood but I was told by a Pontiac dealer that they are having problems with SLP factory hoods in both finish and fitment. SLP still makes the SS and WS6 hoods for GM replacement parts.

I have the H.O. hood and I love it. The fitment was awesome and finish is pretty good. There are a couple of spots that could be better on my hood, but you can't tell unless you look for them.

I would post pics but don't have a way to. Would you like me to e-mail you some?

My SS hood is perfect. But the fender right
next to it came with a factory "bonus" of
little bubbles in the paint. So go figure.

I had the Ram Air H.O. hood. It looked great! The body shop had to trim a little off of the front bumper cover to get a good fit, but turned out great. Pics in my sig.

I can't complain about the fitament at all, but the paint of mine seems to chip more readily than any of the rest of the car,go figure. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Thanks Caveman... I will miss it, but when the time is right, I'll be in another one, maybe even upgrade to a Vette! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
