Does anyone here have an American Sports Car Design SS hood on their third-gen? I would like to know how well they fit on the car.

 

Mine fit nearly perfect . It was primed and painted , thats it . Not prep work , low spots ect. was needed . The underside is finished too . For an aftermarket hood I was impressed , kudo's to ASCD .

Thats funny my hood was exactly the opposite! Save a few bucks and get one of the jongblowed hoods.

My hood didn't fit perfect either, but I'm still very happy with it. It's absolutely sweet looking I think

I'd have to agree with you on that one. Mine was anything but perfect, and still to this day has problems.

Hey Brad, what was wrong with your hood? Did it overhang the bumper or was there to large of a gap between it and the fenders? And how did you fix it, if you did?

------------------
89 IROC-Z with 350 TPI
1 3/4" SLP Headers, 3" mandrel bent pieps with high-flow cat and flowmaster, K&N air filters, Sony Xpold CD player, 17" chrome ZR1s

 

My hood has a slight warp at each of the hinge mounting points, causing the hood to not be flush with the fenders. Instead, the lip of the hood is about 1/4" higher than the fender at part, but then smooths out towards the nose. I don't know what could really be done to flatten it out, but it's not so bad that it distracts too much. I haven't had anyone even mention it yet.

The only other problem is a couple of very small bubbles in the fiberglass which caused two slight bumps on the side of the scoop.
Even less noticeable than the warping.

I can overall say that the hood is worth it. I think the weirdness that some of us experience in the hood is just due to the nature of fiberglass... it's hard to GET a perfect hood. It's luck of the draw with any fiberglass hood you get, unless the manufacturer is so picky as to test fit and throw out all non-perfect hoods. I somehow doubt any company has quality control that high .

 

I been waitin' 2 see one with stripes thats cool as hell
