Default Help with CS6/8 style hood purchase?

So I've decided on this hood as well and it's unfortunate how uncommon it is. Well after lots of searching, I have found a functional version from various sites. On every site it seems to be the same hood produced by AIT. My issues are that all of the following places have shady reviews (or none at all), extremely harsh restrictions on returns and I'm not even sure of AIT's quality itself. I've looked around at threads on these places but I'm curious about a "hood purchase" experience anyone has had from the following:
Cruizin Concepts Wholesale

Mr. BodyKit

BMC Extreme Customs

Car Body Kit Store

AIT Racing

Anyone have 2 cents on purchasing a hood from one of these guys or on AIT's quality itself?

That's the hood I have on my car. had it for 2 years with no issues. here is a link to the e-bay site where I got it.

This is my car in some of the pictures. they used to run some actual auctions for them occasionally. my wife paid half of what they are asking now.

Thanks so much for the info - and it's just in Chino! That's the typical price now, it seems. I actually found a real CS6 hood recently and it was about $200 more and not even functional! Glad to hear that it hasn't given you any trouble, it's such an awesome look that the aftermarket just won't get on

glad to hear they are close. I'm in South Carolina and had to pay shipping when I got it so the cost is about the same. I had it shipped to a local shop. They said it was packaged better than anything they had seen. I did not put hood pins on and it does have a little shake over 75. All in all I am very satisfied. I get a lot of double takes and compliments.
