Ram Air hood, best quality

I have a friend that is looking at getting a Ram Air hood for his 90 Formula. anyone know who sells the best fitting hood for these 3rd gens??? I have seen some on Ebay for a long time now for $450.00 which sounds somewhat cheap but maybe the guy on Ebay just sells a few on Ebay just to get his product out in the market maybe?? it is a company called GT Fiberglass, does anyone know if these guys sell good fitting hoods??? I have seen similar hood elsewhere selling for around $600.00.

gt fiberglass? didnt they used to be gtauto the ones everyone had problems with customer service. I hate to say it but www.ramairhood.com has good quality hoods, im not sure on the firebird but i know on the camaro. They're customer service sucks also thats my personal experience most others had better luck.

the only thing that i would buy from gtfiberglass is the joenglbood hood JMO

ramairhood.com gets my vote. they were easy to deal with and the hood only needed minor mods to fit up (which they gladly helped me with).

I got mine from ramairhoods.com. - Fit perfect, bolted right on. I've seen several that just don't fit right. The headlight area on the birds makes the diff. between a good hood and a bad hood. Mine fits perfect...
