I'm looking at getting this hood here http://rksport.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=1115, but it comes unpainted and i was just wondering what it may of cost somone to get it painted? also if there is anyway to find it cheaper? or atleast maybe a website you know is very good, thanks for anyhelp guys

 

Ive never personally ordered from RKsport but i hear good things about them. California Mustang has the same hood, unpainted as well. Ive ordered a few things from these guys and so far they have been great.

I paid $490.00 to have mine repainted. The first attempt was by an individual and it was terrible. A local Ford dealer did mine and it turned out great.

 

The amount you pay for the hood is a good estimate for body/paintwork on it...I paid $500 for the hood and about the same for prep and paint.

 

hmm ok guys, thanks for the help hope to be getting the hood soon

 

I'm thinking about the RKS GTR Hood but then I read this can anyone chime in?

My situation was 2 fold.

1. The first set of hoods from RKSport had design issues and flaws. They offered to repalce my hood at a very low cost. I opted not to use them again.

2. The shop, and more specifically the person who did the "work" to the hood, ripped me off on the ~$3000 to "repair" the RKSport Hood.

All in all, I feel the 2 highest quality hoods out there are made by Cervini and Kaenen. We all know Cervini, btu Kaenen manuyfactures hoods for others, like Steeda.

Just my 2 cents.

I have this hood and I love it . I did a thread on making it functional with a Western Motorsports intake . Sure you can find it if you do a search .

 

Got the hood and love the looks of it. Fit and prep was a bear, tho.

Yah i love that hood ive seen it on a few cars in various different forums i like it a lot ...im thinking about purchasing it as well and took it took a picture to my local body shop and they said it would be around 400 for the paint job but ive also gone there for a lot of work so they cut me a little bit of a break on some things but its worth the money they do a good job

 

2 people I know that got it. 1 was unusable, the other guy spent over 1000 for fit/prep/paint.
I love the hood myself and really want one, but not if thats the case.

 

i am a painter by trade and did the work myself , as for the fitment it bolted right on . A little off on the hood lines , but thats a give and take with a aftermarket hood . i love the hood , and love the way it works with my intake . I oaid 300 for the hhod through a friend that changed his mind , and paint was of minimal cast to me . Other than that just time and effort
