When I bought the hood for my Z28, I bought it through a local speed shop. Cost me about 30 bucks more than getting it straight from Harwood, but I got to see it before I paid for it. --  1995 Camaro Z28 & 1989 IROC-Z Stock restoration in progress, well almost stock  http://www.myspace.com/163296073 Posted By: Pocket On: 04-09-2008 @ 15:59:12 Reply | Top | Edit As you can see in the pic, it fits like poo from the factory BUT it is fiberglass and unpainted Mod it to fit like any REAL body shop would Here is a fiberglass repo for the wrap around wing http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=431 Hawks has good products but is notoriously overpriced Take it as you will -- "If you have complete control over the damned thing, you're not going fast enough." - Carrol Smith Posted By: Calaban007

Not only is their stuff expensive, their shipping is outrageous and you'll have a hard time getting a quote. I bought a headliner for 175 and SFC's for 126.50 and it costed me like 81 bucks to have it shipped. Totaled $381.50, to say I was upset is an understatement. I wish I was closer than 3 or 4 hours or I'd just go pick up the stuff, although I think both of them were shipped directly from the manufacturer. I also bought the nylon hatch motor guides for my IROC and it cost like 35 (25 + 10 shipping) for 2 freaking pieces of molded plastic that a single stamp would have covered the postage. I could have went straight to Top-down solutions and got the whole rebuild kit, guides, nut, and plastic housing for 80 bucks. My only complaint is that they should post the shipping on the website instead of "call for shipping." If they sell 5 or more of the same part they should know what the shipping is going to be. Especially if they use the same company. I'll probably still buy from them, but only on things I can't find anywhere else first. In addition, my Harwood hood was a perfect fit. I had to adjust my passenger fender a bit. I had hit a deer and it pushed it back a bit. --  1995 Camaro Z28 & 1989 IROC-Z Stock restoration in progress, well almost stock http://www.myspace.com/163296073 [ Edited on 04/10/2008 @ 11:35:30 ] Posted By: GOATS2QUICK On: 04-10-2008 @ 21:22:39 Reply | Top | Edit if i deal with hawks, i would have to pick it up myself, if they would offer that. i need a new spoiler, and a new hood for the 89 ta,and shipping would be BIG!! maybe ill email them and see whats up, thanks 4 the input.
