Hey guys, here are just a couple of other peoples opinions about FFI, didnt have time to gather a lot.

The hood was good but i was a little upset on the finish of the top of it

Slow Shipping, a seam cracked during installation,loose screen

hood does not fit at all, doesnt even have the correct shape. dont buy from them

Wrong hood sent....told I was wrong....

This hood would be good if I wanted to go surfing, not to put on my car, finish is wavy, piece of crap

If you want more proof, go to fiberglassfabricatorsinc.com and click on 93-97 SS hood, look at the picture, you can see the bulges and crators in the light reflection on the car. The front of the hood over the left light is way above the fender, thats proof, thier own damn picture on thier web site, they are truly idiots.

Problem is that's only five complaints out of the 300 hoods they sold on ebay. Obviously it's a cheaply made product, they only sell for $350-$400. I guess you get what you pay for...

Just for the record, I would NEVER buy ANYTHING worth over $50 off ebay. If you do, there is a good chance you are throwing your money away. Virtually no recourse on crappy product, and I've even been stiffed $30 on a lousy PS2 game! Ebay is pretty much the pits.

I've had a pretty good time on ebay...just have t opay attention to detail and know what your buying. There's allot of performance shops on there that sell stuff super disounted. Got a pair of $500.00 headers for like $270.00 right to my door. How cool is that

For what it's worth my hood was in great condition when I got it from FFI. I actually bought 2 SS hoods from them because the first one was ruined when I hit a deer.

You have to adjust the hoodstops a little to make it fit correctly. The photos in my sig are before I adjusted the hood for fitment. Check the pics out.
