I bought my ss hood through hawks.i thought that was a ASCD one that hawks resold,but it's one they make themselve's.It was well made and fitted well,only had a small bow on the left side,but i dont think you'll ever get perfection with fiberglass.

Re: Looking to buy hood
I got my SS hood like 4 years ago from ASCD and it was damn near perferct. Not too mention they forgot to send me the black plastic mesh insert for the hood scoop and sent it out to me no questions asked. I'd buy from them again.

Re: Looking to buy hood
Is the underside of the SS hood fitted for a air cleaner to fit inside the hood????

Re: Looking to buy hood
1FASTZ, as far as a 4th gen SS air cleaner...I think Hawks may have something that would fit but would not neccessarily be sealed off on the hood like a true SS intake. There's about 4" above my plenum to the underside of my SS hood. Also, atleast when I bought mine the underside edges of my hood (where both upper and lower half) of the shells are glued together was unfinished. Leaving a 1" wide "troth" of fiberglass mesh texture. I filled it in with tiger hair resin and then went through the normal finishing steps. I know have a seamless underside / topside transition....very nice!

Re: Looking to buy hood
I had though that the hoods from ASCD had the little "hump" on the left side from the mold? Like I said I would like to buy from ASCD so I can drive down and pick it up but after doing some searching I have seen mixed reviews.

Re: Looking to buy hood
You'll see the hood scoop is WAY large enough for an air cleaner:
