Harwood or Suncoast. I went with a functional Ram Air Suncoast. Nice product.

I wouldnt buy a Harwood, their quality has went in the toilet. I bought 5 B12201 hoods from Summit, everyone I took off the truck was either damaged or just plain junk.

SO I called them, Harwoods response? "Sir these are not show quality hoods" WTF? For $600 they need to be better than the ones I pulled out of boxes at the end of my driveway. Would have taken another $400-$500 in prep just to get it to fit right and ready to paint.

My Suncoast Creations hood was VERY VERY nice right out of the box.

I like it bro. So it kinda looks like your last one you had. Did you sell the other one or did you just re-paint it with a new look?

I wouldn't say that...it's one of the better. They still have their issues from time to time. I had a little rubbage on the bottom side of mine due to it hitting the alternator.
