    I know that there was a company that made a bolt on Grabber hood, but I cant remember who.
    I've been wanting to get a Fiber Glass hood and sell my original Grabber steel hood.

    Also what about Fiber Glass Fenders?

    Thanks guys!

    I was looking at unlimited products hoods, but after reading post here I will only buy a Maverickman cf hood this guy put his heart and soul into making a perfect hood. I have not bought one yet, and still feel it is the best. He has just posted that he has them in stock. I hope he has one after Christmas I want one in 09 .. Ken

    US Body makes them as well, but as most members know, the fitment is terrible

    Thanks for the heads up on this. I was looking at the carbon fiber hood. The fitment looks fantastic, but I dont like the carbon fiber look, so I'd only end up painting that.
    How much are those CF hoods going for?
    How about those other one's mentioned?

    Thanks!
