U.s. exotics does not exist anymore. Do some research. He ripped me off for $500 and 11 others for $500 and even more on custom hoods. He hasn’t made **** in 4 years and his shop burned down years ago. I assume that he lit it up for insurance money, if not, I sure hope all of his molds got destroyed in that fire.

I didn't have any issues when I bought my hood from him about 6 years ago. He actually sent me a new one cause 1st one had a few little issues. Sad to hear that. The hood is pretty dang awesome and gets a lot of looks.
