Default Ram Air Hood.

I was wondering how much I could get out of my hood, with the hood mirrors and all?
The Rally Bird stripe would be taken off.

Is it an OEM GM hood or aftermarket? I would say around $800.00-$900.00,but it also depends whether the person buying your hood will have to repaint it or not (to match).
What are you going to replace it with?

I've seen them (oem) in my area between 400-800 dollars without mirrors, but like obsession said I'ts definatly worth more to someone who doesn't have to paint it.
If your lookin to make money sell me your 505a's!

Its the GM hood I bought it from the dealer after I bought the car. I paid 1400 for it about 6months after I bought the car. Im going to buy the 4 port extractor hood, Im also going to put my stripes back on it. I think it will look good. Thanks for the input, to tell you the truth I didnt think I could get that much out of it. Plus im not sure how much it will cost to ship it.

I would say the cost to ship would be around $140.00-$160.00. There are usually OEM ws6 hoods on Ebay, so I would check it out just to see what they are going for.

Dammit. Wish this would have been a week sooner. I ordered a WS9 hood but would have liked an OEM WS6 hood.

Also even if the new car is silver as well you will need to get some fading done if you want it to look right.

I was just saying whoever buys it...Even if that person also has a Silver car they will most likely need to blend into the fenders and bumper to look right.

No way whoever mixed that Silver can get i to match the color of the car exactly.
