Stuff I bought in pas was terrible along with customer service. I agree should have been a name change.

I got a ta style scoop from them a few months back. They had to make it, as it wasn't on the shelf. Called for an update after a week and a few days later it shipped. They called and let me know it went out. I don't work with a ton of fiberglass, but in my opinion it was a nice piece and needed very little to finish. They get a  from me.

some of the so callecd "perfect" stuff has been far from............. 
...I missed this little JAB ... then was not going to respond uNtil I got a few emails about what you insinuated ....
And you KNOW THIS how ? ... I am not the one that SAID THAT(my stuff was "perfect") and I will admit that many parts were not "perfect" at all. But they were A LOT better than what UNLIMITED has produced in the past. The things that UNLIMITED would do would many times make the parts UNusable. Mine ? .... would be a seam where the mold was multi-piece made so the part could be made. OR something that could be quick-hit with a DA ... during the priming/painting process.
But UNLIMITED ? ... a finished part full of air bubbles, pulling parts from a warped mold, a mold that was too narrow, bracing under the part that was far from what is needed ....and I could go on. And then there was shipping damage caused by horrible packaging.
AGAIN I say ... are they capable of producing good parts ? ... I would hope so. But will they ?

As someone who does body/paint work daily, far from a fiberglass expert though, I can say the part I got was a good part. No air bubbles, not flimsy and so on. Did I get lucky? Maybe  I bought a hood from a guy that does viper hoods in PA, us exotics or something like that... nicest glass I ever worked with. This was a close second though.

Always nice to see vendors here, and great to hear that quality is much better than in the past.
I was going to order a new hood this winter anyway. So I'll order a hood from them and report back with my findings.

They must have replaced all of thier molds when it changed owners 
My hoods is nice, I may end up buying another hood with a SS style hemi scoop on it this winter so I can see around it 
Which of your little girlfriends called you telling you I was insulting you? Come foreward kiddies...........like mentioned on the bullet "we need a cage so we can really get things settled around here"...........you guys r 2 much.
