Duraflex hood

So I'm wanting to get a WS-6 style hood for my 87 GTA and I came across the Duraflex brand that has them for $399. Does anybody have any experience with them by chance? The price is right but if I can find them better for cheaper somewhere then that'd be awesome. Still better then $800-$1000 I usually
See them go for

Re: Duraflex hood

Better off going with the RA2(aka WS-6) hood from hawksthirdgenparts.com for a little over $500. The very few who have bought duraflex RA2 hoods have had issues with that hood. Do a search on here.

Be prepared to have a lot of time with a long block and a lot of filler primer. I thought my
hood was fairly straight but when I started actually sanding on it it looked like a woop section on a motocross track.
