Ram Air Hood Needs Painting
hey guys im about to buy a gen 4 fibreglass hood off of ebay could you guys give me an estimate on how much it would cost? kasey told me a few of you guys do paint jobs.
what would it cost if i: sanded and primed it and then had you do it? Had you do everything? Brought it somewhere else? thanks guys |
From what I hear, when it comes to fiberglass the quality of the mold determines how much labor goes into it. If you got it from a notible company like Harwood, Suncoast or even ASCD, Ive heard their good with fit-ment. But if you got some cheap peice, it may take alot of work to fill in cracks, prepped & just get it fitted right.

leave it in the gelcoat...cuz if it looks like carbon fiber it MUST be fast!!!! [waits for james]

Looks good, look around LS1Tech if you got a chance and look for the sponsor US Exotics, they make hoods for late model GM's alot of people go for the WS9 hood. I think its the regular style ram air, with a raised cowl portion and heat extractors like the firehawk hood!
|
oh how id love to have one of those ws-9 hoods, but from what ive read theyre few and far between
|
I just bought a SLP hood just like that...and well now i'm returning it cause the damn thing just doesn't fit ! check to see if it fits your car first...mine had 1 inch gaps all around. and if the body shop has to do major fiberglass work and stuff its going to be more then you bought the hood for.
|
seems like alot of ppl have problems with the ws-9 type hoods, i guess ill stick with the ws-6 style hoods for safetys sake...
