I'm going to buy a new ram air hood for my 06 GT. What do I look for to get a good quality hood. The one that I am thinking about is a GT 500 style Ram-air functional hood. It is the GT 500 style, but fits the GT. It sais it is FRP, Unpainted. I would guess that FRP is fiber glass resin something or other. The price is cheap so I'm guessing that the quality is also. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is why I hate shopping for car parts online. The hood could turn out a terrible buy and not even worth putting on your car. My advice is to look around and see what other people say, whether it's about that particular hood or their experience/purchase. Their should be some posts about this particular subject on here somewhere. If not, try Googling. If you find some info elsewhere, be sure to post back what you found in case some other people have the same question!

My body guy says Harwood is the best, so you save on prep work even though the price is higher.

I have heard that TruFiber is good hoods, and I beleive the have a rep on this site. Not sure if either one has a hood like your looking for, but they definitly have lots of options. I going to order a 2 inch cowl for trufiber when I get the cash

Go with a reputable brand pretty much. I have heard nothing but good things about TruFiber and Cervinis. I have a Cervinis and love it!

Just go see them in person before buying. However, it's been my experience aftermarket hoods never line up quite as good as OE hoods.

I've seen Trufiber on cars, and I've seen Cervini on cars (by "seen on cars", I mean actually laid eyes on them). I have a Cervini, and the body shop guy said he likes working on Cervini stuff because they require so little work to prep for paint. My cervini came out really nice, and I'm thoroughly happy with t.

I would love to have a Keenan but they are impossible to find.
