Grand Prix GTP - Choose my hood!
Hello everyone, well my car is in storage right now for winter. I am planning on pulling it out in about a month. My hood, front bumper, and side mirrors are full of rock chips. I am planning on getting them re-painted. Seeing those rock chips while waxing or cleaning my car just kills me  My question to you guys is which hood should I get?
1. http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.m...ory_Code=GPEXT
2. http://www.lmperformance.com/1713/12.html
3. Or repaint my factory hood and get rims?
Here is a picture of my car for help:
Thanks for your help!

I would go with the SLP hood. I don't like the other one how it looks like it has fake hood scoops in the front.

What if I cut out those inserts and put chrome grills in place of it?

My brother has the PFYC hood. I think it looks great and he said it is VERY strong!

Fake ram air = total cheese
I'd go with the hood that has functionality.

If it were mine:
1) Repaint mirrors/bumper/hood
2) Take extra money and buy under drive pulleys
3) Retune or performance programmer
4) Proceed to smoke numerous non-suspecting innocents with your sleeeeper

I have the carbon fiber inferno hood for the 2004 grand prix. it's a very well made quality piece. it's made by kaminari, so i'm assuming that all their hoods are made by kaminari. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it other than their shipping times!

I like the SLP. The combo of scoops and louvers on that other one just looks fake. I mean, they obviously both don't do anything. But fit and finish and quality of materials might be more important than the look. Though SLP usually makes quality parts.
