Don't buy Area 51 they suck. They don't make very good hood. Uh if you want a good fiber hood get Fiber Images. Mantaray Motorsport Racing They make the most durable hoods.

Well, for anyone else looking SSP in Mission Viejo has nice ones for aprox. $450, not sure of exact quality, but I know they look hella nice and SSP always has good products, and they know what there talking about
Can anyone else beat that price for a good one??.

Well go to Fiber Images and there are a couple videos about the durability of those hoods. You won't find anything that durable.

My hood from Area 51 Fabrications was like $350-$400 plus like hour and 1/2 to 2 hours for installation, with the hood pins. It worked out to like $600. I'm definitely happy with it. And other people I know, who also have a hood from Area 51, are happy with theirs.

on the fiber image web site it say you can put a clear coat for extra money, what would that do, will it look shinnier?

yeah it will look more shinny to, but what it really does is protects the hood. Just like how your clear coat on your paint portects the paint.
