Anyone identify an SS hood??
 

So I found this SS hood on craigslist in my town. It was advertised as a carbon fiber (its really fiberglass) ss hood. I asked what kind he doesn't know it came with the car he said shoot me an offer. Sounds like he doesn't know much... Heres the pics he sent me anyone know any info??

umm where are the pics? lol

oops fixed

the pictures don't look bad. i don't remember what the underside of my hood looks like to compare with. youll need to look at it in person witch shouldnt be to hard for you because its local. the only thing is the fit. i dont know if theres a way to take any measurements to see what youll have for gaps all round the fenders and nose. what is he asking for it.

the next thing you need to get now is the ss emblems. witch you still can get from gm by useing the 02 year. there a little pricey but i wanted factory for my car from my last summer misshape lol.

the way i look at it putting on the ss hood is one thing putting all the gear on then the emblems is a bit much. sort of like a chick that has had alot of makup done just isnt the same as the real thing.

is it functional?

looks decent! are you trying to figure out if its a real one?

It looks to me that its functional with the cut out.

Hard to tell with aftermarket as they take an original off the car make a negative mold and recast new parts from it. Problem with that is quality control. How well they apply the 2 halfs thickness of the fiberglass etc. One kind of good way to tell is the slp hoods were almost as heavy as stock steel hoods. Had to be for crash regulations. See if it weighs a ton. If not is aftermarket.

Naw I don't wanna do the ss badges. Not trying to make a clone its still a z but gotta have those as parts... they make a camaro.

I'm pretty sure its aftermarket because the underside of an slp hood looks different I think? But im tyig to figure out what aftermarket one it is. Ill go check it out who knows maybe hell take 200 then I wont care how it fit hah

What fucking difference does it make go see the hood if the fit is good And quality is good buy it. Stop being a retard. it's 300 bucks jesus

How am I gonna know how it fits off the car with no car to test it on jackass???? Worth the post to see if anyone says "oh that's a blabla hood those fit well" yeah..

You can't make that assumption about any aftermarket hood. Drive your fucking car over with no hood and put it on or are u buying this for a car you don't have?

If its original it will have the made in Canada mark on it.

My car is off the road in new Hampshire and not drivable at moment

Ask the guy to bring it to your car then. U said same town.

buy the damn thing. If it doesnt fit SELL IT!!! At this rate you'll never have a SS hood just a post every month wondering if this one will fit or not.

f you guys nevermind. This thread isn't a OMG should i buy it or not its a fuckin does anmyone know what hood this is before i go buy it thread.

Yes i know it's an aftermarket ss hood.

but how do you know that!?

Never mind I just realized this is a lt1 style

hey kev idk if this helps for what the stock ss hood looks like.

Just went to check it out was real light def not slp which I figured. Scoop was functional and it didn't look all wavy no damage. Looks like it was red before and that's under primer.. seemed pretty good quality to me! He wanted 300 I gave him 20 and said ill give you the other 230 Thursday. So 250 haha woo finally got me an ss hood
:klab: maybe drive up to nh and test fit this weekend hehe

Holy shit i don't believe!!!

What's this the third ss hood thread? Congrats!!

Pics or it didn't happen.

Ok lets get this straight I've been looking for an ss hood for 3 years and until recently I have posted about it.

One wtb thread http://www.northeastf-bodyassn.com/s...ead.php?t=3654

One "found one" thread but I was too late http://www.northeastf-bodyassn.com/s...ead.php?t=3670

And now this one. The fuck??? Jackassessssssss

No pics till I pick it up :klab:

Congrats kev lol

haha gracias. now time to throw it in the shed with all my other shat

if you can see any unfinished fiberglass on the engine side of the hood..its aftermarket... like pizza said as well, stock slp ss hood is freaking heavy...can you blow up the pic ware the air box sits? if its not finished there is a fake...to me it looks un
finished

it looks like a nice aftermarket hood

Just bring it straight to Matt

naw I wanna see how it fits first. I have to hahah

picked it up today!

It seems pretty good condition?? I just need a grill for the scoop since the edging is a lil rough around there and also the side edges filled and sanded a lil better i dont like the way it overlaps :P

So I dont think it was red I think its still an unpainted hood....

:klab: now coat it in silver with a reverse black manta haha like so:

I dunno about that paint scheme...

Also, I always thought it would be cool to have the scoop light up, put a bulb back there somewhere and tie it into the parking lights
