  • Cheap SS Hood?

    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.

                  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.
