I would say Ebay, and try to get a GM one, the fitting is much better.

id say a cheapie is as low as $450, a real GM one probably around $700.

I know im going off topic, but why not get something different like a cowl hood? it can look pretty mean, where an SS hood just looks stock (but still nice)

I got mine off a wrecked SS, about 550, and it was cracked and had to be repaired and painted on top of that, most selling them know what there worth. I would also refer you to SLP where you used to be able to get them new. But production has stopped, so all the real gm hoods are on the road or wrecked somewhere.

I know where you are coming from there, but if it is anyone who knows anything about Camaro's they will know its not an SS upon closer inspection...

If there is only one thing you remember about buying a hood remember this- you get what you pay for. Anything under $500 and you'll probably be unhappy with the fit/finish of it.

i decided to scratch the ss hood, too many things to worry about (paint, proper fit, etc...)
So now im looking into getting a pair of headers. Suggestions?
