I'm trying to find OEM SS hood but they are hard to come by for a decent price. I have a mint red 2002 convertable with the six cylinder. , i'm working on making it a clone. I don't know much about the aftermarket hoods for this car. Are they as good as OEM fit and or quality? If yes, can someone point me in the right direction for a aftermarket SS hood? Thank you, Jamie

I can't vouch for their quality but Classic Industries in Huntington Beach, California lists in their latest catalog an original GM SS hood for 1998-2002 for $2,142.99. Not exactly cheap for sure.

Best quality hoods out there for 4th gens is VFN Fiberglass and Glasstek...

VFN does not make a 100% accurate SS hood they raised the cowl on their version..
Glasstek makes an exact copy OEM SS hood though...

The only other one I can think of is Tru Fiber but from what I hear their hoods require the most rework, prepping and ect.. Out of all of the Hood companies..
You want to make sure you get a good quality made hood because where you think you are saving money on the price of the hood you will end up spending more on the Labor with the body shop fixing fitment issues, prepping, sanding, ect,ect...
The better the quality of the hood is, the less in labor it will cost you at the body shop...

Thank's ins0mnia24. So this Glasstek hood is the exact fit and quality as factory. I guess I'll order it then. Thank's again, Jamie

No hood is an exact fit on these cars including the SLP hoods that went for $1-2k..
The tolerances with these cars can be quite different from car to car..

The Glasstek is just the best option left..

They all have to be fitted and checked then adjusted and or sanded to keep the lines even around the fenders and nose..
