Who sold that? I will be getting a vented hood this year (same style) and want to know who to avoid.
That look's like a variation/knock off of the HiTech hood.

Great looking hood! I love the style. I am no body guy, but I see no way to make that hood fit your car.

Yeap, and I'm not being fully reimbursed. I had to take a loss on the shipping of the item back. I paid 721.00and the seller would only reimburse me 640.00 due to shipping charges, which I hope he keeps his word.

I have the same hood on my car I have had on there for 4 years, the fitment was pretty good overall. I remember at one time there was a bad batch of them, it may have been one of the left overs ones from that.

That's a bunch of crap.

I would've cancelled payment through your credit card and told him he wasn't getting anything. If he wants his hood he can pre-pay shipping freight.

There is NO WAY, I would eat a cent on that or ship him anything without being reimbursed first.

Who was this???

I will be glad to tell you who this is once I get my refund. I am fumming right now. I never thought that I would get burned by a vendor, not from this forum, but....for now ill leave it at that. I will post a copy of my invoice and a copy of whatever money he reimburse for everyone to see for his error and inferior part.

No way I would pay a cent for that piece of junk. How could they ship something that bad to anyone. 100% refund plus 2 way shipping on that. They have big brass ones to think you should pay anything at all for that.

Bummer. I wouldn't offer a dime and would expect full reimbursement or replacement with a proper product.

You need to get full refund. Did you pay by credit card. If you did talk to the credit company to work with you on this. I want to know who did this to you. Is it a forum vendor

I promise to pass out more information. Like I said I like for the sale to speak for itself. Everyone here has seen the item that I received. Now im going to leave it up to the vendor. I will post the invoice of what the hood was sold to me for and what they reimbursed me, which will speak volumes of their customer service. At that point it will be up to all of you if you would like to continue to do business with them. They pride themselves with american build but how about american customer service? I am a member of this and several other forums and will be glad to share my story with all of them. Again, im asking for patience to see if that vendor will do the right thing.

I was looking at the same hood since I am doing a wide body upgrade and was going to pull the trigger this weekend but now I have to wait who is the vendor I don't want to order from.

I really wouldn't waste one moment with them to "reimburse" you, especially since they want you to eat the shipping.

Just simply dispute the credit card charge with the complete documentation as evidence.

The process is as easy as pie, and the money is back where it belongs, "in your pocket".
