what do you body guys think of this combo

http://www.up22.com/scoopw1.htm#SC-124

it says its curved to a 69 chevelle(I thought they were flat)

kinda plan to leave it white and just bolt it down, leaving the the hood blue.

it's 2-3 year temporiary thing,
the hood has a hole in it from being a drag car, I just want to keep the majority of the rain out. if caught in the rain.

WEll, if it's temporary, ok, it's better than an ugly hole. You can't throw a spare hood on it?

I would stay away from Unlimited. They just plain suck! Customer service, product fit and finish, and ship time are terrible.

I agree , unlimited SUCKS TO THE EXTREME !! the worst fiberglass products being sold period............... buy one from another company ,PLEASE ..
i spent probably 12 hours cutting /glassing /sanding/blocking one of there hoods ..and it still fit like crap .... you can polish a turd ,BUT it is still a turd .
a buddy of mine also bought a hood from them ,big mistake .He said hey come over to my house and check out my hood ! I said please dont tell me you got a unlimited ,he said yes .I said i dont even want to see it !!!!
well he installed it and it fits worse than mine .

I order a fiberglass header panel from them. They said they had to make it and it would take about a month to be out. I said no problem. Cut to about 4 months later it finally arrived. I had to call thier sad excuse of a customer service line about once a week asking where it was. Different story everytime. Looked terrible, fit even worse. I asked them what they were going to do about it and they said nothing. I set it aside somewhere and I can't remember exactley what happened to it. Don't really care either. I got an original and no more worries.

Stay FAR FAR away!!

Here's a few. No personal experience with any of them though. I know lots of people like the harwood hoods.
