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!

 

of course the OEM SS hood!! it will fit perfectly and its original..

 

Agreed, anyone want to chime in on ACSD?

 

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

 

SLP OEM SS Hood!

 

wow, no one to speak for the qulity, or lack thereof of ASCD parts?

 

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.

 

slp oem ss hood. you won't be disappointed

 

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?

 

ya but there are a few places that still offer it, TR still has it for sale, and Im sure there are a few others. Anyone know who else is selling these hoods?

 

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

 

^^what he said, thats what i did and I have no regrets

 

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.

 

having trouble finding an OEM ss hood...anyone wanna get rid of one?

 

^^haha, I was thinking of switching to a Sunoco, but gettin the car repainted for it is too much money right now....

just keep ur eye out and don't expect to find one within a couple of days, it took me about 2 months to find a good deal on one....got it for $550 from a local

 

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?

 

Speed Inc. has SLP SS and Firehawk hoods.

 

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....
