Default KAMINARI HOOD: good product? feedback needed

I talked to my local body shop tech rep and he said that he seen and worked on few aftermarket hood and none of them is a good product so of course i know kaminari product is one of the best but wanna ask you guys who has one and want to how you feel about their hood?

do you have any problem with their Urethane hood like figment, quality, bumps, dents, etc?




p.s.

does that hood come with holes for the window washer or you will need to drill one?

you need to drill your own holes but it does have the dimples in it to guide you. what do u mean urethane hood? you mean carbon fiber? from what i've heard ( use the search button) it fits like a dream. search and there are a few other companies that offer great products as well

The fitment is great. My body shop was surprised at how good my hood/kit fit.

Correction, it is Carbon Fiber or fiber glass. Kaminari products are top notch!

You are right. They now only work with urethane.

Well, it really depends on the look you are going for. The qaulity in construction, fit, and finish will be top notch just like the carbon fiber hoods. I believe the Celebrity race Scion TC's had the FRP hoods and they looked great.
