Default Steel hood 05-09

Saw steel hoods on ebay. Would like to know if anyone bought one. Seems only one seller has them. His feedback is less that stellar which is holding me back. I want to get rid of the recycled beer can hood

So you're going from a recycled beer can hood to a recycled bean can hood...

Ive bought a couple things off e-bay that looked great only to find out they were made in China and didn't stand up over a short period of time. You have to be very careful what your getting.
