I have an '00 Z28 with the less-than-awe-inspiring flat hood and it is giving me hood envy.

I have always really liked the SLP hood from the SS Camaros and I am interested in procuring one, or a quality copy of one, but which one?

There are a bunch of people selling SS hoods; please tell me about your good and bad experiences

Thanks

Not feeling the carbon fiber look, or accompanying price tag; thanks, though.

hey you got to pay to play....

unless your up for ALOT of work, youll have to pay for a decently shaped and flat hood

also, idk if any other site sponsors offer the hood, and ive already been flagged for posting outside sites (i was trying to help a member with hids)

I don't have an aftermarket hood, but the main issues I hear about are fitment. Depending on the company, you're obviously going to get what you pay for.

Are you looking for carbon fiber, or fiberglass?

maybe you could find a factory SS hood that is in descent shape at a "junk" yard. May be a needle in a haystack though.

I am always on the lookout for factory hoods, but most of the stuff you find on EBay and other similar sites is a damaged take-off from a wrecked car. My buddy's buddy found a heavy-rear-ended SS in NY but someone had already snatched the hood off of it.

I really hate the look of carbon fiber, and it seems dumb to pay $300 extra for a cf hood just to paint over it. I could really care less about the weight; my car is a convertible and a cruiser, not a race car, so it is a heavy bitch already.

The fit-and-finish is what I am really asking about; if someone has a brand X aftermarket hood that fits the nuts, and someone else has a brand Y aftermarket hood that fit like crap, it'll help steer me in the right direction.

Thanks for the input

What color do you need? I have a pewter OEM that I'm thinking of getting rid of...
