4" harwood outlaw bolt on cowl hood

DONT GET IT! i have a few friends who bought the same hood for their third gens and if looked at by a proffessional auto body person (or someone with a real good eye) the hoods are made poorly. the cowl is not perfectly "straight" or the same measurements on each side. the hood will line up along the fenders and bumper straight but the cowl is slightly off and if you are picky about things like the appearance of ur car then this is not the hood for you.
Unlimited Products has been in the industry of fiberglass auto body parts for a long time and they are very very good. they make hoods for all years camaro. i myself bought a 4 3/4" cowl hood for my 87 IROC and it looks bad ***. they make complete bolt on and front latch or pin ons. i would deff recommend you go here to check em out

we bought UP hoods and Harwood hoods all cowl style for the different project cars we built for cars (mostly mustangs and some camaros) and the UP stuff is "sux" and the Harwood stuff is damn near ready to paint out of the box.
Just last night I was at my friends body shop and he has two novas and two chevelles in his shop the one nova has everything UP sells (including the hood) that will go on his car except the body. His bill for finishing is huge. The two cars that have just the Harwood cowl hoods only have 1/2 hour prep each for just the hoods and the car with just the UP hood (no other panels) has like 5 hours fit and finish for just the hood.
so please please please I beg you, don't try to feed people some crap on Harwood when UP cant even sniff the jelcoat Harwood uses.

I also agree that harwood is got its act together. I bought the outlaw pin on style and other than alittle trimming and drilling the holes for my hood pins everything lined up perfect and straight. Not only that but the black gelcoat matched perfectly w/ my paint so no need to repaint the hood to match. Honestly almost just a bolt on install. Go w/ harwood you won't be dissappointed! just my 2 cents.

sure I could agree with that, if you mean what I think you do. Some guys would rather save the money on unlimited stuff and do the mass of bodywork required on thier own.
