    « on: August 21, 2006 - 03:30:38 PM »

    Year one, aar Fiberglass and Usbody  :clueless:

    fiberglass hood from AAR fiberglasses for 420$, usbody for 499$ but with August 15% discount it will come to 420$
    and year one it offer the hood for 699$ 
    i am looking for strong hood bolt in look and feel like AAR hood that will fit without warp or flexing it will be shipped overseas

    Where abouts are you from baracuda72?  :dunno:

    On the subject, do they make steel AAR hoods yet?  :clueless: I like the AAR hood but fiberglass is not my thing.
    They warp and are only recommended to be used with stock factory hood hinges at shows for a correct look.

    Cool, isn't Dubai in Africa or South Africa?
    I know they have a Dubai there, they play Rugby test matches there.  :cheers:


    Yeah, steel would definitely be the way to go. The fiber glass ones are under a lot of stress when you use factory hinges, even the less strung AAR hinges warp and buckle them. You could have a 4 or 6 pin set up?

    Dubai is on my list of cities I would love to visit. I am an engineer and I was always facinated with they're modern engineering designs and architecture. Not to mention I hear they have cheap jewerly...lol. 

    These are the two structures that are amazing:





    If i'm not mistaken the development on the water in the second picture is well underway. Now that is amazing real estate!

    The old hoods warped apparently. I also heard that somebody makes new fiberglass hoods with stronger interial supports so they won't twist or bend.

    I saw a custom 68 GTX with an AAR scoop grafted onto the flat GTX hood. I guess you could go that route.
