Hey guys,

As some of you may know I'm doing a swap from Mr. Red to Mr. Black (zerothread?id=435736)

The rear of the back is rather f***ed up. We have a friend who's a master body man and he said he would fix the rear for the front clip of Mr. Red including the hood.

So now I need a new hood. Any recommendations?

1) Stick with OEM?2) Fiberglass?3) Carbon Fiber?

Fitment is key for something that won't break my wallet.

RJ, your vert is beautiful!! Any plans to sell it any time soon?

OP, sorry to jack the thread. I also say OEM is the way to go. It saves you even more money by not having to buy hood pins.

Yeah unless yo need to run anything else stick to OEM metal. Fiberglass and fiber get wavey with heat.
