superhawk hoods back? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
it's not actually made by U.S. Exotics. i emailed the seller, said they made their molds off of an original U.S. Exotics hood... very tempted to pick this up, but i'm worried about how it'll fit. i've been looking to pick up one of these for around a year now.

For the 430489029 time, DO NOT BUY THIS. It's ******* garbage, they steal molds off of alot of companies and make it from that, 99% they fit horrible horrible, im talking like cutting and adding fiberglass to make it look DECENT. You get what you pay for, superhawk hoods are $600-$800, not $300 for a copy.

^please dont state a percentage you made up as a fact. mrfrostberry, please go check out this thread which was started a couple days ago and has gotten more replies. check there, you will see my 2 hoods that both came from this same seller, which both look great, as well as another members trail blazer SS which also has an ebay hood.

I have a roger hood that fits like crap, i had to do all sorts of things to make it fit decently. I think it all depends on how that person feels that day. I dont trust any aftermarket hood.

i tried searching for a thread like that, but couldn't find anything.
hmmm.... well, i think i'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy it... so we'll see how it works out. anything has got to be better than the hood i have now.
i also really like this hood...

i have the us exotics superhawk hood. the quality of the hood is just as good as all the other hoods i've had on cars which include about 3 hoods from vfn and 2 from slp. i've got a buddy with the superhawk hood that cost 300 bucks or so on ebay and its looks bad from a mile away. its true that hoods from any company will vary in quality from day to day but this one isn't even worth the 300 bucks. < just my opinion though.

they will open them for you for a small fee. i dont know why they just dont do it from the get go and add the fee into the price, but i guess it probably helps sells to advertise the lower price and just add the fees. i paid to get my WS6 hood opened, as well as the camaro, which they opened and screened
