i bought a slp ss hood through thunder racing for my 02 z28. first of all it was a little expensive but you get what you pay for. it was packaged well and did not need much prep . no scatcheds or chips. it took about seven working days for them to deliver. very satisfied.

Does the regular SLP air lid work with the SS hood. I was just going to go up to summit racing and get one, but i want to be sure that when i buy it that it all hooks up right and works like it suppose to. I want an OEM style, i really like that look, then i thought about getting the ZR1 rims for it too. It's a red car and i thought the black ZR1 rims would look really neat on it. Thanks for all your guys help.

Don't buy from SLP. Although they have the real OEM hood, it is extremely overpriced. Plus you're still going to have to pay to have it prepped and painted, so you're looking at another $300+.
Just search the nation-wide F-body boards (such as this one) and maybe some of your local ones too. Find a used OEM SS hood and then pay to have it packaged well and buy shipping insurance. Yes, you'll still likely pay for paint (unless you can find one that's the right color for you, which does happen), but it will still end up being MUCH cheaper.
Just make sure it's in good shape. Don't buy any of the hoods that have broken corners, cross-hood cracks, or require repair. I've purchased an SS hood off an SS before and was extremely happy with the results after I had it redone with a painted manta stripe on the scoop.

Also be careful about vendors still listing these hoods as Suncoast Creations. That is the first sign of an out of date description (and probably price). Suncoast Creations is now Suncoast Automotive Performance, Inc. or simply Suncoast. I bought Suncoast Creations last year and I'm working hard to breath life back into what was once a premier Camaro and Firebird supplier. I am open to suggestions, criticisms, bribes/investment, etc. I can be emailed through this forum or any of the customer response forms at our website.
SuncoastPrez.
