I've never known anyone to use them, so I can't say anything about them. maybe that's a good thing or maybe it's a bad thing?

don't they usually do mostly racecar bodies? a lot of times places that deal with mostly racers, aren't as exact on their fits and finishes are the streetcar guys.

I say this from much experience. in my group of friends, weseem to always be buildingat least a few cars a year and lots of them are track cars, this is why I say the stuff about fit and finish.

I can say that Unlimited Products fiberglass is probably the worst company out there and Harwood is one of the best. many dealings with both of them although Unlimited gets no more of our business

I don't know what year your car is, so I don't know who would make parts for it but.....I bought a hood for my GTO (it's called the Banshee Hood) from www.pfyc.com and all I can say is that hood was the best hood I've ever bought, BY FAR. get in touch with them and ask them if the hoods they sell for theCamaro compare to the Banshee hood for the GTO.

if they say the quality is the same (meaning same manufacturer), then that should be your supplier because you won't be dissapointed. any people Iknow have bought that hood off of them and all agree it is the best they ever bought. it even blows away anything I've ever bought off of Harwood. perfect fit, nice thick, even gelcoat and no bodywork was needed.

just saw my new SC today and there was a 2010 Camaro body built by Suncoast and it looked horrible, and it was a big budget car and still looked like crap, so that tells me all I need to know about them
