I wasnt saying it was sunoco in the pics, I was just referencing a more common 4th gen hood trying to imagine how that hood insert would look on a real car. In the pics, for both the LS1 and LT1 cars they photoshopped in the entire 5th gen cowl hood section. The cowl portion of the ZL1 hood is flat across, most 4th gen aftermarket cowls have a ridge or character line in the center and taper down. Thats why I said this might look outa place on a real car.

Not scammers. They are made by a huge company Extreme Dimensions. They photoshop, send to their manufacturer overseas and have made. Other companies sell the product (hence all the various names on ebay selling them) at various prices depending on how much business they do with ED which in turns determines their discount. We for example only get 10% of ED's list price. Other companies get 20-40% because of volume.

ED doesn't have access to cars that aren't imports for the most part so you never really see pics of the actual part on a car from them and the companies selling on ebay never even see the product in person (just list, sell, send ED money, ED ships).

So there's no way to see the real hood until someone orders one and gets it in hand?

Going to ***** this thread. Hope it all turns out good with this hood. If so, think I'll put the TDs and sway bar on hold to purchase the hood. Want something different than all the VFN and SS hoods.

I have the Wide Sunoco hood and would like to know the width of the insert kit. If it would fit I might install it.

Well, right now our test car doesn't want us to take it to test on so everyone hit up Sommer86 via PMs and tell him to stop being a beotch and let us take his car lol.

He just got it painted and is afraid we won't line things back up right, we told him we'll pay to have it redone if he isn't happy with it

Tried again, beothced out again.

Christian is coming through though... Sommer's car is bascially stock, Christian's is over 500rwhp turbo car so we'll enjoy the drive that much more, thanks Christian !

Seriously though, Christian's car is black so it should look pretty awesome out of the box (black gel coat).

Cough *600* Cough. Nice to know I'm coming through, though I only found out ~20 minutes ago lol! You break you buy!!

I wasn't that mad about them scratching up the Purple car(test car for LT1 front bumper and diffuser rear), since well its a POS but I'll murder over the turbo car.
