I'm scraping some money together to get the spoiler and some other parts painted/repaired. The T/A hatch I bought was damaged during shipping, and I have a T/A rear bumper that needs to get painted as well. The hatch alone is gonna cost $500 to get fixed. I want to get everything done at once. First things first, though, my car needs new wheels. I sold the ones I had (HP Evos) and I haven't bought new ones yet because Paypal was holding onto the money since I wasn't verified yet. I finally got that all squared away, so new wheels come first.
I cant speak about the firehawk hoods. But I switched my factory z28 hood with an oem ss one and I can easily pick up the ss to move it while the z28 one weighed a ton lol

Offering an OEM copy Firehawk hood is a no-brainer. If you don't do it, someone else like Classic Industries will do it eventually. There are currently no replacement options unless you hit the eBay/craigslist lottery.

As for keeping Firehawk parts exclusive, even SLP sold off their Firehawk hoods to anyone after 02. I'm of the opinion that the only truly collectible Firehawks are the 91-92s.

Thoughts?

Probably $700 in fiberglass and $1000 for Carbon Fiber.
What year Firehawk are you talking about?

Dammit. I'll give you $700 right now for a fiberglass one if that moves it to the front burner

Seriously.
