So last Fall I decided to cut a bunch of weight out of my Dart. I ordered a set of fiberglass bumper brackets for the front and rear of my car. A cheap, easy way to cut some weight. Once I got them, they didn't seem to fit my stock bumper or my fiber glass bumper very well. I decided to return them. When I contacted UL about returning them, a lady told me to email an address and get an RMA and that there would be a restocking fee. It was a few weeks before I could get to town to ship them, and by then I had lost the email address. I called back and talked to Kevin, he said to just ship them back and he'd take care of it. So I did and Kevin signed for them on Dec. 28th. Since then I've called every 2-3 weeks and talked to Kevin, and it's always the same story, "I'll put a note on the accountants desk, she's in on Thursdays". I've asked to have her call me, did actually get to talk to her one time, was told she didn't have time to talk to me because she was doing payroll. Been told a few times that the refund was "pending". After 10 months I would think that the refund should've gone through?

I'm just letting you guys know how their customer service has been treating me.

Thanks, I got a horrible hood from them ages ago. I have actually been considering getting another one as I have heard the quality is way better. Things like this make me want to shy away though.

I have a very similar story with those guys, but with light weight hood springs. Lied to me a bunch of times and finally received them and they wouldn't even hold the hood open. Had to order another pair from another company. They suck.

Im needing a glass hood, so I can scratch them off the list, 10 months is way too long to deal with an issue when most refunds are a one click deal.

So who is a good company for glass parts? Simple hood is all I need.

I bought a hood and front bumper from AAR Quality Fiberglass last winter and the quality and service were great. Most parts are made to order and they shut down over the holidays so keep that in mind when ordering.

I used to defend them and Kevin but not anymore after a carb dealing in which Kev wanted me to "patch together" an old pos carb for one of his customers in which I said no and haven't heard from him since. THAT character obviously is carrying over to the way they STILL do business so no longer will I suggest or recommend them........THEIR loss........ down spank

I got pile of crap hood from Unlimited, it has been about 3 years, every time I look at my car it gets me aggravated, it was supposed to be a bolt on hood & use their light springs, but the hood will start bending in the middle if left open, so I have to use a hood prop rod.

I have there hood.
It wasn’t the greatest fit and finish, but decent enough I can live with it.
I have to pull my springs off or else it will bow like others said.
They were the only company I found that offered a 71-74 B body cowl hood. So I had to take a chance on them.
Wasn’t thrilled with the customer relations, but I’ve had worse.
In the end I have a hood that works. It isn’t perfect but with limited options for 3rd gen I was just happy to find a supplier.

I've got a GlassTek rear bumper and dash. I think their quality is good.

Hi Doc.


Why even bring up his name?

He hasn't made anything in over 20 years despite leading people on multiple times and complaining about other companies pricing/products/shipping prices.

Nevermind he's a mind cripple!

I've got an Unlmited front bumper and my most recent 5" cowl hood. Both are race car "ok" in my book. Sure the perfectionist would prefer the hood gaps be better, but this hood weighs 14lb, and that's what I wanted to achieve over the 36lb VFN with 5" cowl molded on it. To tell you the truth, I was leary of buying from them, but it wouldn't be beyond me to drive across the desert and pay them a visit if need be. I think all three of Tony's cars (70AARcuda) have Unlimited hoods and some bumper pieces.... he's happy with them. I'll be ordering a rear bumper from them one of these days.

Btw my hood is pin on... no meat at all to have hinges of any sorts.
