So i ordered a 4" cowl steel hood through summit on march 9th 2009 knowing the expected ship date was going to be march 25th 2009... i checked summits site roughly on the 18th and it said that the expected ship date was april 4th 2009 so i called summit they said thats the shipping date we've gotten from goodmark (ships direct from them) So i call them up and ask whats up they explain that one of their shipments was delayed so all of their hoods are pushed back until they get their new shipment in..(no biggie i let it slide)
Then today i looked on the site again and it said april 17th 2009. So i ask summit whats up gave me the same answer. So i call goodmark up again, and i asked what the expected ship date was for my hood that i ordered almost a month ago and the answer i get back is Your looking at June.
Called summit back canceled my hood, And had them switch it to the 4" cowl fiberglass hood from harwood for an extra $55 Ships Tomorrow

i've thought about getting a harwood, i just dont like the gap between the front of the hood and the front bumper, seen too many cars this way. want that gap nice and tight.
I have a goodmark 4" on order there too. Ordered it in feb. Be here in a few days (it says). Anyways if someone wants it when it comes in I'll charge em my cost no tax $436.00 LMK
I live about 5 miles from goodmark here in Lawrenceville I called them directly for a hood and was told they no longer carry the hood something about a suppler dispute they were selling the hoods they have and that was it. that was about 2 months ago and they told me they had no more hoods. there supplier is here in ga also for the life of me the name excapes me but they make alot of replacement body panels for cuda's and such it's something like gap or something along those lines. I just got off the phone with they Goodmark they are carrying the hoods now they were made by a company in flowery branch Georgia called amd not there getting them from overseas. here is the old supplier's website http://www.autometaldirect.com/ $499.95 4 inch cowl. 2 inch cowl $449.95 they are in stock Business flat $125.00 residence is $150.00 Ask For Kelly I just got off the phone with him.
i got my hood from goodmark, cost me about $530 shipped to canada. got it in about 2 weeks. and im very happy with it, excellent quality and the front gap is good. check my cardomain for pics
