Cheap SS Hood?

[ne0hisda0ne]

Has anyone figured a way out to get a cheap SS "working" hood?? Either modified out of stock hood or bought cheaply through a vendor? I've been looking for a while and best I can find is $400-$700 is this reasonable?

Have you heard of the "hood scoop" mod, by just taking the "hood scoop" and then "dremeling" out a hole in your hood...mounting so called scoop and then fabricating or buying a setup for the ram air intake?

$200 eh'...was it local or you have it shipped to you?

I got mine local , even fit it in the back hatch , since I have rear seat deletes, and some towels and plastic the guy had. I couldn't close the hatch all the way so tied it down. And the hood is on the car.

I found some on ebay for like $250 but it's like $150 for shipping though...so I'm right back to $400 again...

Re: Cheap SS Hood?

One thing you have to be careful about is the cheaper ones usually have horrible fitment. A lot of times the money saved on a cheaper hood will be spent adjusting, trimming, or even remolding it to fit.

From what I've seen, VFN has some of the best-fitting hoods for a decent price. A little more than what the ebay hoods cost, but fitment is superior and hoods are functional.

I'm planning on buying a hoodscoop off an SS for mine. I have also seen SS hoods going for roughly $500.
