Thats a killer lookin hood man! I would get it! It says OBO so you may be able to get it even cheaper since you got to have it painted. Just keep in mind its all fiberglass.

That is a nice hood and that wont last long. You should still be able to keep the bug shield as it mounts to the grill and the grill to the hood.

That's a cool hood. Offer him $250 and you just got a smokin deal.

Definately lose the mustache with that hood. Unless you have a matching one.

This hood has been on craigslist for a month or so. I talked to the guy, asked if hed take less, said no the first time, now its obo. Its about a $650 dollar hood, so $350 isnt a bad deal, but maybe now he'll cave a bit. Ihave been wanting to get it but Im torn between the stock srt10 hood, this one or a steel ram air hood from reflexxion. Ican get it for just under $500 http://www.reflexxion.com/rfx/images...cts/702801.JPG
Heres a link for the craigslist ad's hood, closest match if not exact same, the owner didnt know the brand.
http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com...s-GHD-105.html For an additional $320 bucks you can get the ram air kit for it. look at bottom of page.

I would give it a shot... its a nice hood

i would inspect it good and see if its warped in some way... maybe they had it leaning in sun light or who knows... so when you try to line it up it will be tougher than expected..

tell em you got cash and he'll come down.. i always do when i sell stuff on CL... somehow just hearing that phrase gets me going and i drop the price lol
