Ditto on question.

Hi guys, thanks for kind words.
Its from alliexpress. Shipping is a killer to the US i believe however there was a vendor on here not long ago selling the exact same hood in the US for a good price.
Cant recall who it was unfortunately but they had them in stock i believe.

You can get them from Suvneer in the US:

Here's mine:

Suvneer seems to have the best price for aluminum hoods and most likely they are all manufactured at the same facility overseas. There are other vendors that carry the exact same hood.

For CF, there's Alpha N, Edison Composites same rules apply, they come from the same manufacturer and they are just different brand names. Team Schirmer creates their own hood.

Maybe 10 lbs.

VisualEcho · 09-18-2021, 07:05 AM

The Suvneer one is my favorite, made after the GTS, not the CS. The bulge is different.

As stated above, there used to be/are several sources for this exact same hood, some as low as $800 shipped, others as high as $1800 shipped.

The problem is that they used to all be the same decent quality, but now there are some really bad Chinese fakes that are being sold as that quality, and they just aren't.

Your safest bet is Suvneer.

I love that Suvneer GTS hood. It'll be on my car one of these days!

Best place to get a "good" (i.e. non Chinesium fake) Suvneer hood?

And I thought I read somewhere that you couldn't use the hood struts because it warped the hood?

If I remembered, I wouldn't have asked the question. 😁

Maybe it was a cf one I'm remembering.
