Seems like 99% of GM dealerships always jack their prices sky high. My friend hit a block of wood in the road and bent his chrome 16x8 factory wheel and they wanted $512 for one.

Yea, my dealer wanted about $1600 for an SS hood. I ended up finding one in our very own for sale section on this board and bought it... I had to pick it up though which was a 4 or 5 hour drive, but the trip and the hood together ended up costing me about $700... and it was a brand new SS hood, still primered with the GM sticker on it.

I had the ASCD and I hate it... I also bought the SS spoiler and had an accident due to the ABS Inop light...

I tried to make a claim with them and their insurance said no relation the ABS Inop with the SS spoiler to it... The completely new SS hood from ASCD cracked on a 6mph hit, Now as you can see, after my claim they no longer sell the CORRECT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT!!!!

AVOID AFTERMARKET AT ALL COSTS!!!! SPECIALLY ASCD...

I have an ASCD 02' SS hood and I love it. It fits perfectly, and looks badass. I got mine for $550. I know what you mean about the oem hood, it's overpriced, even with my lil bros discount it was still like $950!!!! so i went w/ this ascd hood and like i said NO complaints. I don't work for this company I'm not trying to sell for them, but they are the cheapest i could find.

Well... lucky you.. mine came so rough that i had to pay 500 bucks to get it preped and painted... it had a huge dent in the cowl which had to be fixed with fiberglass and resin...

I really think that the quality of MY hood is horrible and I've seen many that are super nice.. but mine was not.. I payed blindly...

I have heard that too. And to me that is just lame. I mean why would you even ship a product that bad off?? I dunno, I have heard horror stories before, but then others say that thier hood came in just fine. I did get in lucky IMO. I was really afraid that mine would come in all warped or something, I got lucky though. I have heard good and bad by about every company that makes aftermarket fiberglass hoods. I did a lot of research before I got mine. The OEM one is definately the best bet, but also the most expensive, but sometimes you find good deals...

So... I got it today and I am MEGA HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! A LOT BETTER than the CRAP THAT ASCD Sold me.. SO MUCH BETTER that I regret having spent 710 for mine... the SS spoiler quality was not good either... the paint doesn't stick smoothly...
