Re: Hawks Third Gen website.

Hawks is hands down the best 3rd gen place to shop at. I've bought tons of stuff from them, and i'm actually on their site right now lol... headliners, interior parts, trims, door parts, engine parts, etc... Arrives here in Canada within a week... And their customer service is DEFINITELY hands down superior to any other place... Not knocking the other places but Hawks really is good at 3rd gens!

Re: Hawks Third Gen website.

Hawks and Modern Day Muscle are pretty much my go-to places. I usually hit MDM first since Ive done more business witht hem, and I like their prices. But Hawks is a great company. I had several conversations with Bruce when I was gathering info for my LS1 swap. I almost bought the swap "kit" from him since he could source the motor trans wiring, swap parts etc for a decent price back then.

Re: Hawks Third Gen website.

Hawks is awesome to deal with! If your buying a hood, buy it direst from fiber concepts or asd. save yourself the hassle. these hoods are very delicate. trust me!! when you buy from the factory it only ships once!

Re: Hawks Third Gen website.

I have only dealt with Hawks once to get some miscellaneous parts for my GTA. The price was reasonable and they came to Canada in about 1 week. I would give them very high marks with my limited experience with them. I am considering using them again for an aerowing if another supplier can not come through. I to have had good experiences with Modern Day Muscle and I will also say I had a positive experience with TPI Parts
