best place to buy my hood?

Looking for something sweet in a bolt on style ram air or just a sweet custom. Wanting to buy now and its for my black TA so if anyone knows where a totaled black car is or just a good price on a new one hit me up. Plz and thanx!

the best way is to watch ebay, you might get a deal. i snagged an oem WS6 hood that was a prototype made by the company that built them for GM that was never painted and only needed minor repair to the edges by the windshield due to being stood straight up for several years and a small hole needed filled due to a bad mold which is why it was a prototype. i got it for $307.51

yeah i'm sure shipping sucks. i live in northern indiana and my hood was in detroit. i have an aunt and uncle in jackson about 60 miles west of detroit so in january 08 my dad and i went up there for a weekend visit and took my beater 95 subaru wagon and drove up to jackson friday night then went over to detroit that saturday morning to get the hood and were back within ~3 hrs or so and then spent the rest of saturday back in jackson and then drove back sunday. so the shipping was $0 and the hood was $307.51. i spent ~ $1250 total having the conversion done (hood, ram air box, plus paint/install) but that also included repainting the roof panel behind the t-tops and headlight doors which was probably around $300 of the $1250

to do the conversion right (ie make it look oem) you need

hood (ebay $307.51)
hood grills ($50 shipped from hawks 3rd gen parts for aftermarket ones, the oem ones are $95 each and look identical and clip in the same way)
WS6 airbox w/ maf to tb bellow (got lucky on mine and got it for $115 shipped w/ a K&N)
MAF extension ($25 from summitt)
blockoff plate for hole where old airbox was ($20.xx at the dealer special order)
AIR hose or extension if you still run AIR. i got a 3/4" heater hose and an extension barb and clamps from autozone for around $6. i don't know what the oem hose costs from GM but you can extend your stock one the few inches that are needed.

then the paint and install which was $730 but that included the roof and headlight doors like i mentioned earlier. so all told i spend approx $1250 less whatever the roof and headlight door portion of the $730 was

here's a pic from under my hood
