Re: Krazy Kustoms Online

I jsut read through the website and they have a pretty good selection of camaro hoods. From what I can tell it is just a mix of materials to make one major material called duraflex. If it holds form well and they have a good mold the hood should fit jut fine. If there are any fitment issues I would wonder how much trouble it would be to make it fit right as far as body work goes. Good looking hoods though (jsut like other companies) but the price seems right too.

Re: Krazy Kustoms Online

Re: Krazy Kustoms Online

After reading this page... http://www.duraflexbodykits.com ....on their warranty "policy" (NO warranty) I wouldn't buy their stuff. "It doesn't fit? Tough luck...As-Is, No Warranty. Fitment is the installers problem, not ours."


And I was really digging thg rear bumper cover & side FX pieces too.

Re: Krazy Kustoms Online

i was looking into a hood that a guy locally has and he bought it from grounddynamics.com and its a duraflex ram air 2 hood. I have seen a few pics of the hood but hes gonna get more for me and said that he had no issues with the hood and it fit pretty good. He wants $350 its only 4 months old. Think that would be an alright deal? -Matt

Re: Krazy Kustoms Online

I would be wary of buying anything from anyone that can't even spell... Krazy Kustoms? Looks like something the local rice boys are putting across their windsheilds...
