I have to say I agree with the posts suggesting filing a dispute with your credit card company. I think the photos themselves should be evidence enough to refuse full payment. It is not your fault they sent you a bad product. Why should you pay for their mistake? Tell them to send a prepaid shipping tag and give it back to them. If they refuse, let them fight it out with the credit card company.

Did the seller state in writing that it would fit like (as good as) the original ?? if so I would dispute the charges with your CC company, if NO statement as far as alignment guarantee,
you will just have to take the loss $$ , sorry.:(

I would be pissed too...good luck Pitt!!!

WOW!!!:eek: Good luck, hope everything works out for you!

Just gonna keep an eye on this because i just had mine shipped today

:eek:

:lurk:

Me too, damn! Thats the only hood I've ever liked....

I fell in love with this hood since the first day I saw it. I still want it. Can someone recommend a company that backs their product 100% to fit on my car. kinda funny I asked them if they would mind me sharing the picks so I could get help from the community and their response was nothing good would come from that. hmmm now after reading all the posts from everyone here I can see why it wouldn't be good for them. I will post the information of the seller that sold the hood that is pictured on my 2012 vett with a little over 2k miles on it.

:iagree: Same here.

Sorry for your bad experinece, but a simple search on the forums would have given you all the information needed to stay away from this hood. The Hightech vented hood fits like crap and most of us know it. I thought about getting one myself, until the bodyshop told me they had to go through five hoods on another C6 just to get one that only needed three hours of trimming work. They told me they will not touch that hood again. The hood you bought is probably one of the worst hoods for the Corvette in terms of fittment. Since you already have it, you might as well chalk up the heavy dollars to get a bodyshop to TRY and get it to fit with some resemblence of the stock fit. Good luck with that.

No, it was sent back to the vendor. I don't trust that hood on my vett. I wish i would have known this earlier. But my issue is now with the vendors customer service. But, I believe in karma, and in the power of social media.

Does anyone make that hood correct? It is a good looking hood but that fit looked horrible. Seems like as popular as that hood is, someone would make a quality version thats fits correctly.

HiTech is the company that started that hood. MTI Racing also used to carries it.

I should point out that the HiTech hood looks similar to the one in this thread, but only 4 of the vents are active verses the 6 that are shown in this threads' photos.

PMd you :canadaflag:

That hood looks good. The lines look straight. It also looks to be Carbon and not fiberglass.

:lurk:

Sent u a pm

bump

:iagree:

Can we assume it's not a Hi Tech hood, but someone else attempt at a similar design?

I've seen some amazing body work done to alter/align/fit various body parts but that particular hood looks a little too far out of whack to make it worth the effort.

Here's a couple pics of Hi Tech hoods that have been posted on the Forum.
