    Question: Who are the companies to NOT buy a fiberglass hood from?

    I'm looking for a quality company with decent pricing. I know some guys here have had less-than-positive experiences with this. There are lots of companies that offer this stuff and I wanna narrow 'em down.

    Thanks guys,
    Eric

    Unlimited Products, or 'UP22', has a universally bad name.
    There is another company that operates online only that is a downright scam. Or at least close. I have heard some guys getting what they ordered when the site first came up. However some folks have claimed to not recieved anything for their money since.:huh:

    Check with Maverick Man.
    He has had fiber hoods.
    He also hand builds CF hoods for us.
    Light as glass, strong as steel.

    Showcars-Bodyparts has a pretty bad rep, most people never recieve anything, and the rare ones who do just throw it away because of quality.

    MAS out of Minneapolis/St Paul has bumpers. I got a pair of them myself. I liked the back one really well, but the jury is still out on the front one. It's got a wave in it that is worrying me. Sadly MAS doesn't have a web site, you have to find an ad or call information to get their number.
