All,
Looking for opinions on Unlimited Products Fiberglass?
I'm particularly looking at the Street weight (Bolt on) Demon hood w/6 pack scoop.
The price seems reasonable, if its worth it.
Thanks ahead of time,

Wally.

They are heavy, be ready to do body work to make it straight.

I have an Unlimited glass hood and an AAR/Stinger glass trunk lid, the difference in quality is like night and day, the AAR/Stinger is by far superior

There was a big thread on YB about Unlimited.

While some had claimed the quality was better, the reinforcements under the hood looked like they were made of paper towel cardboard centers in the pics I saw.

I have a bolt on cowl hood for my 68 satellite from unlimited. No major complaints. I blocked it and straightened it out a bit, and fixed some "chips" here and there, but I think that's pretty much to be expected.

It's light enough to be easily maneuverable lifting it horizontally out in front of me, and I'm no power lifter.

I am totally happy with the hood, price, and delivery.

Wow!! Gorgeous Demon.
How is the quality of the AAR? Did it need any straightening/body work?

I'll be going with a lightweight Unlimited hood eventually.... I got their front bumper and it was really nice accompanied by the aluminum Lingenfelter Brackets.

WHoa!! Not what I wanted to hear!
I suppose $650 for the AAR hood I'm looking at will be a much better decision than the $479 one from Unlimited!

All bolt on body parts on my 'Cuda are Unlimited. I lift the hood off myself, and I pull the whole nose as an assembly off by myself also. I thought the hood could be a little lighter, but it was set up for hinges, at the time. Needed minor fill on the passenger door, trunk could use a reinforcement bar to keep it straight in the direct sun. Other than that, I am real happy with it. Bought my setup back around '85. Still holding up fine.

Has anyone used VFN. I'm considering a VFN hood for my charger.

I've had good experience with vfn fiberglass years ago. Little sanding required, good fit. Unlimited was JUNK every time I used them in the past. Never again.
