Alright....am I the only person on here with this hood?

What does everyone think of these hoods?

Does anyone know any information as to where to get them, because I have the feeling that they are not made anymore.

This hood was bought by a previous owner back in the summer of 2000 from Motion Performance Parts in Baldwin, NY. I have located their website, but it seems like they one deal in replica model boats and planes now.

Here's a pic of mine on my 88 TA

 

Nice car, I have always liked that hood, not sure if its still made though.

 

Motion still does the car stuff, but you have to call them.

 

i like the style of the hood, but i dont like the hood because it fits so poorly, i mean that fit is just unacceptable.

 

I think it looks great! The fitment looks poor, but the design is one thing I like! It looks just enough like the Power Buldge for a factory look, but is 'custom' enough for my Kitt w/a Twist!
This is the only site I found the carried the product.

I e-mailed them and they say that they have a hood scoop, but don't offer a complete hood like it. This was several months ago though. BTW the pics are towards the bottom of the page.

 

I hope I don't throw this thread off topic....kinda like the looks of that if I still had my formula...only looks like it can be made functional with a tbi though.

About the IMSA pics at the bottom of the previous link. I've seen those same ones somewhere else as well....but I have yet to see pics of one on an actual car.

Come on...somebody has to have one.

 

bringing this thread back to life. i talked to www.showcars-bodyparts.com and they told me $595 plus shipping for the hood. they said it is a special order item. he also tried to sell me the bond on scoop as well, but i want this hood. if motion still makes on i might go with them. i dont know of the quality of the showcars guys. has anyone bought anything from them before? i am going to post a new thread to find out if anyone has bought stuff from them.

so hopfully you wont be the only one with that hood.

thanks

I just bought thier daytona hood 484 plus shipping(~125). should be recieving it by the end of next week hopefully

 

let us know when you recieve the hood and the quallity of the work. i love the imsa hood but the 595 price tag (especialy when there are older sales adds that list the hood for 395) makes me want to double check the background of the compnay.
we awaite your reply

thanks
anthony

 

what does there daytona hood look like i didnt see it on there website

 

the prices on thier website are old(2002)

go here for the pic

 

Words from the wise:

I bought a spoiler (reproduction GTA) from them about 2 years ago. It took them SEVERAL months to get it to me (and it was in ebay auction!). Not only that, but after two bodyshops each took turns at it - it still looks as wavy and warped as a stock piece. Their gelcoat on the outside doesn't stick worth a dang...just flakes off when sanded. Honestly...I wouldn't EVER buy anything from them again, no matter how much better their prices were.

Just my 2 cents. Hope everybody else's experiences are better than mine.

 

sorry about your experience

I ordered mine about 3 weeks ago from them directly(no ebay) I'll just have to wait and see about the quality of their work.

 

hopefully you wont have to wait half a year.
keep us posted

 

hood shipped and should be here in a few days

 

cool. think you could post pics of it when you get it (close pictures for detal) so we can observe the craftsmanship?

thanks

 

shouldn't be a prob

 

that's the old Pro-Am hood....very nice

 

well the hood has finally shipped and will be here wed/thurs.
btw they don't make alot the stuff themselves for my hood atleast it is a company in LA(the state)

 

interesting, i wonder if the place that made your hood makes all the hoods they sell.

interested to see how good it looks.
do you know the name of the company in la who made the hood?

thanks

 

Finally got my hood today. All I can say is WOW excellent quality and craftmanship. Sorry I did not have my camera with today so no pics at the moment( i will get pics though). It only took ONE coat of primer to get it ready for sealer and paint and a total prep time of about 1 1/2 hours. more to follow

 

oh the company that made the hood is vanacors corvette parts in des allemands, la
