OEM SS Hood

does anyone know where i can get one. i tried looking in junk yards but i cant find one that has camaros let alone ss camaros.

hint*OEM*hint ...hmm, lemme think about that one real quick...

:confused: i dont get it? did i say something wrong?

Original
Equipment
Manufacturer

if you want OEM, you gotta get it from the manufacturer

wow that was clever...........and i was told that i need a SS vin number to get it from gm and its way too expensive but good try at being funny;)

you don't need VIN anymore, swing by your local GM parts department and check it out!;)

isnt it still very expensive though?

well, what do you expect for OE ?

i thought i heard the OEM ones are only like 750 compared to the 2k price tag they use to have. I would go to a dealer and get one. I have seen advertisements in mags about getting OEM SS hoods.

yeah, but like somebody else said "what do you expect for genuine GM/SLP"

the dealer cranks the price up on about every part they sell, he!! i got a set of wiper blades from the dealer and they cost me like $35......:eek: :eek:

i think they quoted me a price on the 96-97 SS hood with the airbox for something like $800 or $900 :eek: and that was even at wholesale, not list price!

so basically my only options are to either buy it from a dealer, try and find it from a junk yard, or buy an aftermarket? are there any junk yards that specialize in f bodies?

Call up Mark at http://www.hpsalvage.com, he's a really nice guy and has helped me out alot. I don't know if they have one right now, his stock changes all the time, so you might get lucky and you might not. Here's his e-mail address mark@hpsalvage.com.:thumb:

I forgot to post this link too, http://www.tacreationsusa.com/hoods.htm. I haven't dealt with them so I don't know how good they are, but I'm sure someone on the board has. Good luck.

My dealer wanted like 1400 bucks for it. I laughed in his face! Looked on ebay that same day...found one in tampa for close to 500 bucks plus shipping. I think I ended up getting it for a little over 600 bucks in the end. When I got it all on and looking good...drove it back up to the parts counter at the dealer for some other various parts...the guy asked if I found a better deal. Um...yeah...60% off! ;)

This is the original real deal hood.
Same part number a SLP's

i have looked every day on ebay for an oem ss hood but all i find are either aftermarket hoods or ss hoods for monte carlos.........i guess i just have to keep on looking on ebay:( till i find one and i really dont feel like paying the 900 or 1100 for a hood

just get an aftermarket hood

i want to wait another 2 weeks to see if i can find a gm hood cuz i dont wanna go through the hassel of having fitment problems and i want the better quailty hood. but if i cant find one in the next two weeks then im gonna get the aftermarket hood and hope for good luck on the fitment

Does anyone have the OEM SS Hood part number??? I had a post and the 10430312 doesnt work.... It says its for some seats from vans or something.

Seems like 99% of GM dealerships always jack their prices sky high. My friend hit a block of wood in the road and bent his chrome 16x8 factory wheel and they wanted $512 for one. :eek:

Yea, my dealer wanted about $1600 for an SS hood. I ended up finding one in our very own for sale section on this board and bought it... I had to pick it up though which was a 4 or 5 hour drive, but the trip and the hood together ended up costing me about $700... and it was a brand new SS hood, still primered with the GM sticker on it.:D

I have so much alignment probs with my aftermarket hood, it blows. Imight just stick my regular Z28 hood back on for now till I can get a good fitting ss hood.

I had the ASCD and I hate it... I also bought the SS spoiler and had an accident due to the ABS Inop light...

I tried to make a claim with them and their insurance said no relation the ABS Inop with the SS spoiler to it... The completely new SS hood from ASCD cracked on a 6mph hit, Now as you can see, after my claim they no longer sell the CORRECT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT!!!!

AVOID AFTERMARKET AT ALL COSTS!!!! SPECIALLY ASCD...

damn going back to september? Well anyway i was one of the lucky ones who found a oem ss hood on ebay after about 1 1/2 months of looking......im waiting for it to arrive on thursday...im gonna take the hood in on thursday and the car in on friday to get it blended in and should have the car back on saturday i'll post pics if i do get it on saturday and if the day is nice.

I have an ASCD 02' SS hood and I love it. It fits perfectly, and looks badass. I got mine for $550. I know what you mean about the oem hood, it's overpriced, even with my lil bros discount it was still like $950!!!! so i went w/ this ascd hood and like i said NO complaints. I don't work for this company I'm not trying to sell for them, but they are the cheapest i could find.

Well... lucky you.. mine came so rough that i had to pay 500 bucks to get it preped and painted... it had a huge dent in the cowl which had to be fixed with fiberglass and resin...

I really think that the quality of MY hood is horrible and I've seen many that are super nice.. but mine was not.. I payed blindly...

I have heard that too. And to me that is just lame. I mean why would you even ship a product that bad off?? I dunno, I have heard horror stories before, but then others say that thier hood came in just fine. I did get in lucky IMO. I was really afraid that mine would come in all warped or something, I got lucky though. I have heard good and bad by about every company that makes aftermarket fiberglass hoods. I did a lot of research before I got mine. The OEM one is definately the best bet, but also the most expensive, but sometimes you find good deals...

Well I got my OEM SS HOOD FINALLY... I Rick Hendricks edition!!!

1150 to have it shipped to my door.. shipping was 330

So... I got it today and I am MEGA HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! A LOT BETTER than the CRAP THAT ASCD Sold me.. SO MUCH BETTER that I regret having spent 710 for mine... the SS spoiler quality was not good either... the paint doesn't stick smoothly...

Hey, did u get the hood on ebay? Is it a silver one with black stripes? OMG:eek: 300.00 for shipping? I paid 89.00 for shipping. If its the hood that i think it is...... oh boy do i have a story:rolleyes:

Do tell the story and NO its not that one.. why?

I wanna hear the story either way :)

I might be looking into gettin a ss hood before to long. Who all makes them besides OEM, and whats there reputation?

ok well.........when i was looking for the hood i got an email from a lady who said that her husband had a oem ss hood and to make an offer and she would ask her husband so i offered 500+shipping and this time the husband replys saying that theres no way he could sell it for 500 when he knows what the oem ss lt1 hood is worth and that he would sell it to me for 1,100+shipping...........so i replied saying no thanks, i also said that if he knew that i could get it at the chevy dealer for 900 and that when the hood IS on ebay it doesnt go for more than 700............so he replied with "You are so full of sh!t my brother works at a chevy dealer and i know you cant get it from them and if you can it will be like 1,500 so i know all your other bullsh!t is lies"............at this point im shocked cuz the email i wrote wasnt offensive in anyway i was just informing him.............so now i start looking for the hood again on ebay and sure enough i find it......so i bid and with 2 days left i get out bidded so i start looking for another hood just in case my next bid was outbided and i found one......so i email the guy asking what was the reserve price(keep in mind we had talked to each other already through emails and he got pissed off at me) and he replies "look at the F*cking buy it now" so a couple days go by and i look at his auction and the highest bid was 620 and the reserve was 990.00...............so i emailed him with a boat load of "LOL's" this guy wanted 1,100 for his hood plus shipping and he got mad at me because i told him that he wouldnt get more than 700 on ebay.........i dont know it was funny to me but thats my story

Well.. I actually it is the hood I bought.. the one with the black stripes on ebay... I payed for the hood 800 plus shipping...

He did a wonderful job packaging it and the hood arrived very well taken care of...

I just had to protect myself just in case ;)

:lol:

that guy is an ASS*HOLE...............i emailed him trying to straighten everything out and he just kept on being a jerk.....even when i tried to higher my price he kept on being a little B*itch.....if it all went good for you then thats good to hear but he is still a D*ick:p

I got to tell you.. he was very very VERY Helpful.. he anwered ALL My emails.. and he was patient and he took AWESOME care of the hood... Im happy... as you could see on the other post. He cover the hood in some sort of a thick blanket then a lot of plastic.. did a "cage" in wood so It wouldn't be crushed and man.. when I got it.. PERFECT..

thats good to hear....just be thankful you didnt say anything offensive to him;)
