Looking at a fiberglass hood for my challenger. Are the Unlimited products any good?
How is the service?
Do they ship the parts when you pay for them or is it a 6 month waiting game?
thanks
Jerry

What doc is trying to tell you is Unlimited Sucks. They have a poor reputation for quality.

Look At these companies for a quality product:

Last time I looked, which to be fair was several years ago, their stuff was horrible.

The company is under ownership/management and has been for a couple of years. The quality is actually pretty good for the pieces we have bought, that being a hood and scoop. Price was very good as well. Just updating some who likely were not aware of the new people there.

Here is their website.

Don't know about now but several years ago I bought two pieces of their junk for a 68 Camaro I was restomodding. I just threw them both into the trash. It was almost a joke.

I hear all of you trust me. Just saying it is a new venture now and from what I have seen and heard from those who have used the stuff has been positive.

Bob, they are not far from Jason's shop, maybe if you are in the area might be worth a look see.

Thumperdart hooked me up for my new tunnel ram hood and scoop, it looks as good as any of the Fibreglas Trend parts I have bought and used in the past before Fibreglas Trends closed up. It needed a tiny bit of prep before painting, not like they where years ago.

Would of been a better idea to change the name with the new management , they have a pretty bad rep to overcome .

Quality of product can be improved in and during the manufacturing process but if they are using the same molds that they have been .... There is no hope for that ....

I Just did a 74 Duster for a customer with hood, scoop, decklid and bumpers. The stuff was spot on...And yes, you order/pay and they build, they do not stock much in the way of body parts.

Unlimited may still have the same name, but, the new ownership and new products are FAR superior to the old stuff that was produced years ago. (I had a bad dealing with the old regime as well) Unlimited has their parts on everything from street cars to 5 second Pro Mods. Use their stuff with confidence.
