Hoping you guys can help with this w25 hood. Ive had it for several years, paid next to nothing for it. The guy I got it from thought it was original, and for what I paid I didn't really care. I do not think it is OEM but have no idea who made it. It is fiberglass and metal.


Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.

 

No, aftermarket
This is Factory

 

Correct, it is a goodmark reproduction with a metal frame but incorrect/ different stamping vs original. Still, a new one is $2,000.

That is it, thank you for the info

 

Seriously? Why in the world would a vendor spend the money for stamping dies that are incorrect? Or is that metal frame actually for a different car, like a GTO?

 

I think it was about the simplicity of the die, to keep costs down. They were only $700 when they first came out.
I think The Parts Place was the first one advertising.
They were/are made in Taiwan.
Up until a couple months ago, they were selling for $1269 from a couple vendors.
That stock ran out, and a few owners are trying to ,capitalize on the shortage.
I bought mine thru RockAuto about 14 months ago. It came in a GoodMark box. It was $800
