rksport.com...,probably in line with the aci pricing,almost half price of the mcm,however the mcm is probably the best quality piece....I had no problems with fit at all( some here have stated poor fit )body shop bolted mine up in 30 mins.

Here is mine...fits Magna charger :-)

- Good fit(mininal amount of adjusting-typical with any aftermarket- don't believe what anyone says!)
- quality was 8 of or 10 (10 being best)

good luck :-)

I have the Motor City Mold hood on my car. Love it. About the best out there in terms of quality and fit and it does get a lot of positive comments from other owners.
