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...

 

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......

i think they quoted me a price on the 96-97 SS hood with the airbox for something like $800 or $900 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.

 

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!
