So in my case it comes down to personal preference,, there is no way in hell Im putting a fiberglass hood on my car**

    Nobody's talking about your hood, i just wanted a hit of that stuff!! I couldn't care less what people want to sell them for lol, but IMO it's stupid to pay 1k for any hood let alone a heavy stock one. Different strokes/Different folks.**

I have write up in my build thread on it, stripes and hood pins have been removed

    Looks good!

    Thanks man! I'm happy with it except for the hood pins which I didn't see in the pictures, luckily I think they will be pretty easy to fill in. I was also thinking about aero latches in the place of the pins, but they are located in a crappy place on the rad support so I will probably just fill them in.

    I paid a member on this forum $850 for an SLP Ultra Z hood...to install behind the fiberglass nose on my red Z28. I feel torn between 2 viewpoints here...LOL.

    OEM hoods didn't come with hood pins, someone installed those on this hood at some point. also, this isn't an OEM hood, it is aftermarket.

    If you got the money and like the parts, more power to ya. I'm not the one earning it so it's not my call how to spend it. For me though I'd rather spend less and get a upgraded (lightweight, better cooling) piece. I want a fiber nose and hatch!

    A OEM 96-97 SS hood just sold for 1500$ on ebay. The deal fell through for me so no hood as of yet. I would like to get ahold of a oem ss hood or a Ultra Z. Both are damn near impossible to find, and I don't like fiberglass hoods but I would do the Ultra*
