I found one local but price seems high to me seeing how he needs my hood as a trade in as well, on top of having to get it painted to match my truck.

I spent $450 on mine already painted with the heat shield and kept my old hood.

nice. in ur pic the hoods black and ur truck is red so you didn have it painted to match? This one is already painted but its the dark red and my truck is black, he wants 850.00 too.

 

[Gen-X]

No I liked the black on red. At least for now. $850 seems high I would price a dealer one and call for paint pricing. Probably wouldn't be much more plus you would keep your old hood to sell and make some money back.

There was one posted here locally on craigslist a while ago. They wanted $750. I really wanted it, and was ready to negotiate but we lost touch.

 

[onequicktang]

there only 800 at teh dealer so unless i find one already painted i most likely will go that route. this guy doesnt really wanna deal.

That's stupid money, get a repro off of eBay for 450 and call it a day.

never had good luck with aftermarket hoods fitting very well.

 

[N Dubya]

I've had 2 steel and 1 fiberglass aftermarket hoods, it's not about luck it's about having a decent paint guy.

 

[onequicktang]

paint guy doesnt do to much for poor lines and gaps on the fitment side.

 

[N Dubya]

Should I have said body guy instead, same thing. And that's exactly what they do. Sounds like you've never met a good one.

After market hoods seem to come down to price if its cheap it probably won't line up nice. My uncle probably has 1100 into his and it looks good.

by what filling your brand new hood with bondo? if so no thanks. I've had fiberglass hoods come with the corners broken off from shipment, to them using cheap fiberglass and not coated right and the paint "bubbles".

 

[onequicktang]

i can buy a carbon fiber one for about a thousand but never have I seen an aftermarket hood fit as well as oem.

Well technically, painters are painters, body men are body men. In the shops I've worked in, they didn't do each others work. You don't want a guy that's been rolling in filler and grinding metal all day painting your car...

...or a guy that's been sniffing paint fumes all day doing your body work:rof

Anyhoo, you'll never get an aftermarket anything to fit as well as OEM, typically an OEM may need a little attention, mostly potential damage on hood corners from shipping. An aftermarket hood often needs a whole bunch of work; had to put a fiberglass hood on a Mustang Cobra once, holy crap what a pain in the butt that thing was

A new OEM SRT10 hood runs 800-1000. That's why mine doesn't have one, yet

 

[N Dubya]

My guy does everything himself....I guess that'd be considered old school? That's how it was always done back in the day.

Op if you know how much a new one is, what was the point of your original question?

 

[onequicktang]

dealer had to get back to me which was a day later so I asked here.
