Don't waste your money on them. Someone from RKsport purchased a hood from them and when it arrived, the hood doesn't fit right and USBODY refused to refund or exchange...

Thanks for the reply fkcamaro. So what about suncoast hoods? Are they good to deal with, and are their hoods any good? Who would you suggest? I'm lookin' for an SS Hood with Air Box. Again thanks

Heh i am the man to ask about hood quality, been through 4 USbody friend has one and talked to everyone, the opinion from EVERYONE on that hood is that they suck.

Suncoast decent hood for the money, though i have seen the quality come and go.

ASCD good hoods a little more money but worth it.
GM ss hoods(for a lt1 gotta have a real ss but they are awesome for LS1's)
Fiberglass fabricators cheap and decent from what i hear. They seem to have very happy customers.

As of this time i am waiting on a hood from a company and when i get it you all will be the first to know how its quality is because they are a new company.

Hope that helps, its a little bit of insight on everyone.

Thanks for the info, it is greatly appreciated. So ASCD has the best hoods out there? That's good to hear, I have an Z28 not a true SS, but I really like the hood and I want it functional. So maybe ASCD is the way to go. Again thanks

I would have to agree that ASCD makes the best FULLY FUNCTIONAL SS hood.
