US Body

Their products seem to be very good quality from the pics...but looks can be misleading. Has anyone here used any of there fiberglass hoods? I'm mainly looking at the RA2 witht he full underside. Lemme know if you or a friend or your friend's, cousin's, former roomate has had any experience with their products.

This should be the right URL below. Trying to remember up here at punishment (work).

Is this the outfit from Florida? USbodysource? I bought one of their hoods for my S10 two years ago, an SS style. Not cheap and expensive to ship. Hood was worth the money though. Very well made, and completely lined underneath. Perfect fit and bolted right up. Usual surface prep for fiberglass but it has held up well. Equal to Harwood if not a little better.

yeah...Usbodysource is the place. Thanks for answering, Im glad someone here has dealt w/ them. High price or not, if the fit and finish are half as good as you say...I'll pay the premium. Thanks for you help.

From Fla. to So. Ohio after all was figured about 85 bucks. Had some discounts and such for some reason. The driver called me from a store down the street and I went and picked it up. With fuel prices the way they are now, might be more. I'd check with them first, but I was very satisfied with what I got.
