are there any tell-tell signs between an oem and aftermarket ss hood. i have one on the way for my 94 z28 but now i am hearing it may not be oem after all. i have been at this guy for a month alone just to get the hood. now it might be a fake!!

 

oem are steel. aftermarket are fiberglass

 

Wrong, oem is not steel. I don't believe its actually fiberglass either its just a light weight composite material. If you get a pic of the underside of the hood i can probably tell you if its OEM.

 

how to tell the difference? fitment

 

I was under the impression that it was steel. sorry for the bad info.

 

Here is what SLP's website says
"This aggressive tear drop style functional air intake scoop will set your Camaro apart from the ordinary crowd. The hood is designed to work in conjunction with SLP original SS air box assembly and provide ram air effect cold air breathing to your engine. Gains of up to 10 to 15 additional horsepower are possible. Manufactured from an OEM-quality sheet molded compound (SMC) process providing a stronger, more durable hood with integrated adjustable hinges. The hood is shipped to you (or your body shop) ready to prep, prime and paint. All necessary hardware and detailed instructions are included."

I think its not fiberglass either.

 

thanks for the replys guys....i bought an oem ss hood from joshp007 on here. after a month of bsing me (check the thread about it)....he finally shipped it but now i am hearing claims it is an aftermarket. just wondered if there where obvious signs (other than fitment) that i could look for to see if it was real or not. thanks for your help.

 

Can you get a pic of the underside. If so i believe all SS's have an identifying seem in the hoods. My buddies 97SS had this seem and i've never seen an aftermarket hood with one.
