i found a hood on ebay today , its a slp ram air hood, it was only at $86 , those of you that have followed my posts know that i killed my old hood and new a new one BAD!!! but the catch with this hood is , it was damaged during shipping and the top corners were ripped off, and considering how easily i killed my old hood beyond repair , im thinking this isnt gonna go well, so clifnotes to my rambling, $86 slp hood, ripped off corners, is it worth trying to fix
to you that don't have ram aim type hoods , keep in mind that the induction hoods are fiber glass and tear like paper

 

i say yes it is worth it. it doesnt take to much to fix and you end up saving a ton. also, if your buying from the guy i think your buying from he offers firehawk hoods and H.O hoods for that cheap too. im gonna buy one of his H.Os for my firebird. i say do it.

 

thank you for the advice, and on the other side someone voted no, would you elaborate your opinon, i would really appricate a 2 sided argument on this to get the best perpective i can

 

I say it's going to depend on the skill level, either of yourself, or whoevers going to do it.
If they're good, you'll never be able to tell, if they aren't it's going to be obvious every time you look at the hood. Looks like your car is NBM, and the darker the color the more it shows any little defect. I hope either you or the bodyman is really good @ fiberglass repairs

 

if you know how to do the work, then yea.

 

It would still be cheaper then buying a hood thats perfect. Figure a new one is 600-700 dollars. 86 Dollars plus 200-300 dollars your still making out.

 

Like previously said. If you have a good bodyman who is skilled in fiberglass repairs or you are skilled yourself than yes, it is a good deal. You might just want to go ahead and buy the hood, shop around for repair estimates, if you can get it repaired cheaply then do it. Otherwise, sell the hood for what you paid for it. Just my $.02
