Aftermarket hoods anyone?
I am looking to buy a new hood for my black SS, I'm trying to stay under $1000 If I can since that will allow me to buy a spoiler also. I like carbon creations hood but I've heard quite a few bad things about their hoods so I'm unsure, also considering RKsport and the 6LE designs scorpion hood.
Anyways the point of this post is to get opinions from you guys on what aftermarket hoods you like the best and also if you have an aftermarket hood yourself I'd love for you to share pictures and your experience installing, whether you did it DYI or went to a shop, and if it needed any modification out of the box.

For $1000 you will get the hood and have some change, that will not cover the cost of paint :(

Also, got me thinking, if I were to get the ACS spoiler does it make more sense to order it pre painted for $250 or do it locally? Either way it'll be black so... Last edited by Est98SS; 04-01-2017 at 05:28 AM. |

The only hoods I've seen for those cars that I don't mind, are the SS hood, ZL1 hood (actual one, not the really bulky aftermarket one) and the Grid hood.

Never ever order anything as big as a hood prepainted I guarantee you 9/10 times it probably won't match.

I wouldn't order a spoiler painted either, but that's just me.

I had to get a new hood for my last car my mustang gt, I was just replacing my stock hood with another stock hood, whole job was just under 1900, with 1100 of that being for the hood itself, so roughly 7-800 to paint. Could of been done cheaper but I only trust one shop locally to correctly paint match and it was a very difficult color, guard metallic which is a dark green metallic. I've come to learn you get what you pay for with paint work. I had a spoiler painted once for about $150 if I remember correctly and it didn't match, work was also done locally but by a different shop, but shop that did my hood had to fix it, and shop I scheduled work with had to work out the difference.

I'm cutting my 2016 hood, and replacing the cowl off a 2015 hood. 2015 hood, $500.00.
Whole job will be under $1000.00. 2017 ZL1 hood is $4000.00, I don't like it. Old school cowl hood (2015) on 2016 hood...SWEET
