Im no body man, and prep work is expensive! $800 shipped for the hood and another $700 for paint prime and installation. That's only if the hood fits right with no trimming or major body work.
Thanks,

I bought a fiber glass SS ram air hood from Jegs.com and my friend bought a WS-6 style hood for his Camaro. Both hoods did not fit properly at all. Both of them over lipped the front headlights about an inch. The front of both hoods had to be cut to form fit the outlines of the front of the car. Also, the rear hinges that bolt to the hood had to be unbolted and welded about an inch back so the over lip in the front was not there anymore. Look around for better painting prices. I got my hood for $424 and painted and fitted for $500. Shop around. Oh yea, both hoods came NON-functional. I had the body shop guy cut into the hood to make it functional before he painted. That was a pain in the ass to find a body shop that would cut into a fiber glass hood. No one would do it. I found a run down hole in the wall garage shop to do it and they did a great job. Here is a pic of my car with that cut and painted fiberglass hood.
