I've never seen an aftermarket C6 hood that fit well.

Link?

That's why I am afraid to pull the trigger.
I figured I would spend the extra for carbon because they hold the shape unlike fiberglass.
I had to make more glass hoods fit that took more work than it was worth.

Yes, but corvette mods hood is around $500.00 cheaper.

There was a thread a couple of weeks back maybe that had one of these hoods that was a total fubar as far as fit goes. Not sure who the vendor was because he didn't say at first then I lost track of the thread. I've had a couple of aftermarket hoods and they fit well with a little massaging at the body shop.

I read it, that the reason I am worried.
I wish he could say where it came from so it could save more of us who buy a bad part.
