Post Fiberglass Fabricators Inc?

Has anyone purchased a hood from them? They have REALLY low prices compared to other companies and so I was just wondering how the hoods fit/finish was. Thanks

...the fit and finish are excellent, and for what it's worth, they also are using a new SS mold now, to correct the minor problem with the front corners (not fitting 100% flush)... You can see this minor problem on my cardomain page, as well as TONS of shots of the hood:

The hood does look good, but does it actually have the hole for the air to go into? Not that I really want it to be functional, but I think it looks goofy without it.

Yes it actually has a hole in it... so it looks functional, but it isnt.

I have been thinking about an SS hood for awhile, but I can't get over having a non functional scoup. can the after market hoods be made funcional and would it be worth it? ps Is there a website for thier hoods?

Yes, you can make SS hoods functional. However if you have CAI allready its not worth it at all. With the way that the SS air box is set up the air has to make 4 90 degree turns in order to get to the TB. With regular cold air kits, it only has to make 2. However suncoast creations has a "Z Style" hood that is basically a WS6 hood for Camaros. With that hood its a straight shot right into the TB. Their site is www.suncoastcreations.com I have heard their hoods are pretty good, but the prices are steep.
