bad things about fiberglass is they tend to fade easier more easily scuffed and cracks sometimes. but it is hard to find aluminum aftermarket hoods so you dont really have a choice o_o

Once again...........what do you guys think of this hood on my car....it will have 12" yellow stripes on it. Do you guys think it will be too much for my stang without any other body work done to it? Sorry for so many posts. I need to make up my mind about the hood i want asap becase my GF is getting me stripes.

prepare to spend upwards of several hundred dollars on prep for a fiberglass hood.

I have the shelby style from Champion, Nice hoods for the $$$

It cost me about $250.00 to have it instaled and painted at a bodyshop.
