That's a fair price. I paid $350 for my Goodmark but that was in a group purchase and I had to wait months after I had paid for it to actually get it.

The shipping seems a little bit high, it shouldn't run over $100 to ship a hood.

The GoodMark hoods are great quality. I put one on my 2004 Silverado SS and loved it, it only took very minor prep work. I purchased direct from GoodMark and believe I paid more plus the shipping was $100.00 to my Chevrolet Dealership. Have it shipped to a business where you plan to have it painted and it will be cheaper and you wont have to drag it to the bodyshop later.

Good point, shipping is cheaper to a business. Maybe the guy will work with you on the shipping if you have it shipped to your body shop.

I think that's about as good of a deal as you'll find.

im looking for the one that has the 2in rise with the low spot running down the middle. 57 bucks would be an insane price. be sure to let me know if you can find one. i can deal with a little dent.
