Default ACSD or SLP SS hood

Well its starting to look like the deal I had on an SS hood is going to fall through. So my question is which is a better deal, the ACSD SS hood or the OEM SLP SS hood? one is 700 the other is 1000, but what about quality? I have the cash to afford both but cant decide. Thanks for the help!

do the oem you will appreciate the quality it will have and it is a long temr investment in terms of the value of the car plus 300 is less than a dollar a day over year, that is how i at least justify my fruitless expenditures lol

Well ASCD isn't a site sponsor, so most people don't buy their products. I'm sure in a day or so someone will chime in.

Didnt know that. Were they a sponser at some point? I searched on this topic and some of the very few results said ASCD was a sponsor.

The SLP hood isn't available through them any longer. It says you must go through gm reproductions or something like that. Does SLP still sell the hood?

Just wait until you can find a local used OEM SS hood. They range anywhere from $400-$600 in great condition...

If you can get the OEM SS, I own the ASCD SS hood and the quality is great no issues fit's great. At the time the hood was free for a tech article so I went with the free hoo but if I had to pay I would get the OWM hood because it's OEM.

+1 for ASCD. But the last thread I replied in about ASCD opinions got the for some reason, so I guess just go with a site sponsor.

Why would you have to get your whole car repainted for a new hood? due to the color or stripes?
Also what about trufiber as a hood option, they seem really cheap, anybody had issues?

Well the front bumper, rear hatch, pbviously new hood, and ss spoiler would have have to be repainted because the stripes are painted on....

and plus I would probably want to blend the front fenders to match the hood and bumper....
