Advice: You get what you pay for, you will pay more in the prep, paint, and fitment. Also you can buy one at lets say a local swap meet, but the problem is w/ off brands is that they can be heavier then what you have now!

Look at VFN or harwood as they tend to be the better companies around that do sell for competitive prices.

I myself bought a US Exotics WS.9 hood that went for over 800 new for 450$ used, the kid had it on the car, the gel coat had come off but like w/ all Fiberglass hoods, getting it to fit right was a PITA, I ball parked it but the body shop def put time into getting it to fit.
