You got all that for $1300? Whoa. Did you steal them and leave the $1300 for a tip or something?

Nothing wrong with doing the hood and spoiler... Now if he gets SS badges, that's another thing.

Get a freakin life. My 69 Z 28 badges look way cooler than the SS badges and as far as the rest of the car goes , it will eat your "slightly modified" SS for breakfast and spit out the crumbs.
Incidently... the reason I got such a good deal is because I bought the pieces at the SLP bankruptcy sale.

Yes . SLP Canada went bankrupt. Someone bought all the unfinished skins and frames for the SS hoods along with the molds so expect to see a new company coming out with OEM type hoods on the aftermarket.

Wow... I didn't know this either. Does anyone know who bought the molds and when we can expect the new stuff? Just curious now.

Just picked them up along with a second spoiler!
Can't wait to put the paint on and get it on my car.
Turns out it is SLP in the US that bought the molds. They will be after-marketing SS hoods and spoilers . I imagine they won't be cheap.

Dont be goofy.. its only a poser if you put on the badges..

Adding an SS hood is no different that old camaro adding a cowl induction hood, just an appearance mod (and functional to boot).. Not his fault that the SS hood is the nicest looking out there..

BTW.. $530 for an SS hood AND spoiler is a STEAL of a deal
