Where are you located? There is a company in Anaheim, CA (cant think of the name right now) that sells trufiber ws6 hoods on ebay, they only cost like 412.00 and they will allow you to pick it up instead of shipping it, thats what I did the other day and the hood fits perfectly, works with all the factory hardware and everything.

No unfortunately I havent gotten it painted I need $1000 and as soon it seems something always comes up to take my money away...always something else I see that I need but I also had to buy a new clutch . I will however have it done by April. That has been my plan

BTW here's Roger's info

The Superhawk hoods usually go for close to $1000, but I've seen some for less and most for more. They are def worth it because I've always heard how great the fitment is and the pics speak for themselves, the hood is the most awesome firebird/ta hood on the planet imo. They usually have one for sale on ebay at a time, and you can save money if you can pick it up of course.
