    I'm going to check out a hood i saw on Craigslist that looks to be the WS6 style made by Duraflex. Has anyone had any experience with the quality of these hoods? I think I can talk the guy down to $250 which is a pretty good price but if its crap quality I don't even want to get involved.

    i knew someone would say that lol. Well I like the style and the price seems right, just wondering about the quality. I dont want to shell out a ton of cash to have the thing prepped and adjusted to make it line up right.

    Almost all aftermarket hoods need to be adjusted to fit, unless they're used, in which case they'll probably already be adjusted to fit the previous owner's car, and will more than likely fit yours.

    NOW we get to the fact that, this is a WS6 hood.

    No. Just no. Only way I'd want to see a WS6 hood on a GP is if you gave it a paintjob to look like a dragon, and the hood were the nostrils.

    Then it'd look ugly anyway.

    Edit: This is my 1337th post.

    What type of hood is that?

    And if anyone cares I decided against the ws6 hood after seeing that picture that ricky21 posted lol. It just doesnt seem to flow with the car like I thought it would.
