A guy I work with put a 4 inch bought one his malibu. Fit like crap needs a lot of work to be made flat bubbles in the gel coat. The lip around the sides is about 1/4 inch long so it wont hold any shape to get the bow out. He said he made the mold from a harwood but my harwood fit way better than this. About all glass hoods need some work it is how much are you willing to do? I can try to get pics if you want some?

x2. My freind bought a hood from them for his S-10 about 2 years ago. It looked and fit like total crap, and it took for-freakin-ever for them to ship it.

I put the 2 1/2" bolt on hood from up22 on my 78 malibu when I used to have that car. It took about 8 weeks to get the hood and when I got it the amount of work it took to get it to fit right and ready for paint just wasn't worth the headache.

Here is the car, I found it for sale awhile back so I couldn't get a good pic of the hood. Actually I'm debating on buying it back or not.
