Fiberglass hoods, what is out there ?

Fiberglass hoods, what is out there ? - 05/29/08 12:34 AM

I've got a MAS hood on my car right now and it served its purpose for a long time, but it is time to shop for a new hood before I hit the summer show season.



What options are out there for fiberglass 6 pack hoods ? I know of UP22, AAR and Glasstek.

I am set on a street weight hood, full bracing and everything. Truth be told, I would put my stock hood on if I could but it is bent from being dropped on the edge and it can't be color matched to the car

I am leaning towards a hinged 6-pack hood from Glasstek, what does everyone have experience with ?

just stay away from up22 (unlimited products).
aar is top notch.

I like the look of the Glasstek because of the lack of that center body line. They start off with a truly flat hood.

I have a hinged AAR on mine.

That looks pretty good. Now if only AAR would pick up their phone, I could maybe make up my mind.

Hood in sig pic is from US Body Source in FLA.

Some member on Moparts let us know about a sale they were having - got it really cheap - and it's the hinge type.

I looked at their site and they have the race weight hoods on sale. The hood I have is a race weight and I'm really not excited about it. I'm going to buy a pin on glasstek 6 pack hood and call it a day.
