I'd like to buy a fiberglass hood >>>>?

I've checked out one of the sponsors here, and found that they want $438 for a hood.

Who makes fiberglass hoods for our 3rd gen cars at a reasonable price, like under $300.

I'm not sure anyone does actually, unless you want to get one that is really poor quality, which most even the good companies don't have perfect hoods.

Glasstek out of Aurora, Illinois makes them for $350. Good quality too.

You can look at the pics in my sig.

oldbluez what kind of spoiler is that. that is just way too big. what japanese car did you steel that off of. some kid here in town was beaten for having one of those then it was ripped off his car. sorry man but you wasted your money. should have gone with a Z28 spoiler from 91-92. it would look alot better.

I emailed cvpde37 and got the number for glass tech. I'll probably be ordering a hood for my car soon from them.
