If anyone gets a chance to look at one of these in person, made by this guy I would appreciate a critique.

My interest is very high and I would even pass on my planned paint scheme if I decide to go this route

At 600 bucks, is it really worth it?

I mean, Ive been lookin for some of those old style bolt on type flares and those seem to go for 100 a piece, thats 400 bucks right there

guys it's get what you pay for...I have seen Les's hood and it is clean and looks great. It is very light and very well made. Is it worth $600, well if you want the best, yes...

That's what I was thinking Ron, there's too much price difference... so you gotta wonder about the quality of the cheaper one. Plus, it's a carbon fiber/fiberglass hood. It's only as good as its weakest link, which would be the fiberglass he used to make the frame and hinge mounts. I don't know about Les' hood, whether it's all carbon fiber or not, so I can't say it isn't worth 600... but that's an awful lot of money just so you can say you've got a carbon fiber hood.....

sorry, Les owns classic datsun, that green 240 is his car..
