that would be a steal if you found one that cheap already painted. there was a guy who posted on here that he wanted to get rid of his pewter SS hood in exchange for a regular hood...that wouldve been perfect for you

I was thinking about getting an ss style scoop because I already have the FTRA and it's just for looks. I couldn't find one though. Does anyone know where i can get one of those??

actually you could, jegs sells the scoop for i think like 100 bucks, all you got to do is rivet it on there and get some phiberglass/bondo mixup to get it looking right. BODY SHOP!!!l leave it to them they got the tools for it

i would think maybe 200-300??? for the whole bill, it'd be best if you got a estamite for it, it would also be cheaper (again depends which shop you go to) if you have the hood off, that way they dont have to spend time covering the whole car when they are only goin to be workin on the hood.

Yup, almost any body shop can simply look up the paint codes and spray it for you for fairly cheap. He was talking about getting it "molded" to fit the contours of the hood which would require fiberglass/bondo combo, and making it look fairly stock, or at least that it belonged on the car. Simply riveting it on the hood would look pretty bad in my opinion...
