The Carbon Fiber hood weighs less than 19 pounds.

My stock hood struts LAUNCH my hood up, lol.

well i asked the seller about shipping, handling, and packing. i thought it would probably be faster to ask you. was it 150 for shipping and handling?

i have asked ebay sellers in the past, and half the time never hear from them or they seem to only answer one out of X number of questions, lol...

BTW we have a file size and count limit. What I have started doing is posting a link to one of those free car sites, like car domain. that way you can have a free photo site about your car and not chew up your LS1.com limits

just my .02

i went to the Harwood site. tHey claim to have 2.5, 3, and 4 inch cowl hoods. you can buy them at summit or jegs.

ebay scares me too, but LS1.com has been a very good place to ask the famous, hey have you bought this from ebay, questions.

BTW hats off to any one that has been first to risk their hard earn money on a product, specially if they got it off ebay. I know I am watching a couple of ebay header threads, what brave cowboys they are.

They sent it via a freight service I have never heard of...
Old Dominion or something like that.

It was quick & reliable, but an oddly shaped package of course.
It was light, the Old Dominion freight slip said 19 pounds, but that included the packaging.

They dropped the price after I bought mine...
The hood was $599.00 with $150.00 shipping when I bought it last year.
Oddly, they didn't send any vaseline with the hood.

I paid just as much for my SS wing (including shipping/fit/paint)

What are the "chrysler concord wrinkles" to which you refer?

lol...the lines that follow the headlights from the front to the back.

look at a 99 ish chrysler concord from the front, and ask yourself how similar they are. i was a long time Mopar fan, and have owned several chryslers. One of which was a 99 concord. the hoods have similarities, specially the lights and hood lines / wrinkles.

Maybe it can be better described as the hood contours or slight wave affect or something.

93-97 was a flat hood compared to 98-02. I guess for that matter you can say 67-97 was a flat hood compared to 98-02. It's not that bad, but i wouldn't mind a hood without the contours, wrinkles, waves, what ever you call them.

here are a couple of links i found that are good shots of concord hoods from the front

they were good links at the time, so to those reading int he future they may not work. I just did a google on 99 chrysler concord for pics.

i always like to stick with the heritage of the car like a cowl on a z28, and ss hood on an ss stuff like that, but you know how us women are, we are hard to please, maybe she will change her mind.....

**kool-aide** · 03-05-2008, 02:05 PM

lol
