GMPartsDirect is ALWAYS more expensive than Scoggin-Dickey. They list their prices on the items cheap, but rob you on the shipping/handling and you don't find out until they tell you the grand total. Beware.

If you just want the WS6 hood "look", get one from VFN, our other sponsor. www.VFNfiberglass.com

i am still waiting for a response from SDPC2000.com

no kidding about shipping. must be alot esp because GMs hood is metal, right?

about VFN, does their hood look *exactly* like the ws6 hood? because i saw this one "ws6" hood by suncoast creations and it just did not fit the car at all. it was that hood that turned me off to the aftermarket and made me decide that i was going to go OEM. so what about VFN or ASCD? is either one exact?

The GM WS6 hood is fiberglass, ASCD has a real good looking WS6 hood. There are other options out there. SLP, Mecham performance, VFN Fiberglass, and suncoast creations all make pretty decent hoods. Mecham's IMO look the nastiest, but there is usally a lot of fitment issues to deal with. www.mechamperformance.com check them out. I think persoanlly I would go with VFN there hoods pretty lightweight and it looks real good too

VFN and ASCD ram-air hoods are identical looking. Both are modeled after GM hoods. The Suncoast hood is more squared off looking and has taller nostrils, I don't like it either.

The VFN hood even uses the stock GM nostril grilles.
