After market sport hood

[coltonbaxter31]

I've been looking into sport hoods and came across a couple hoods that are a fraction of the price as the OEM sport hood. For ex: Replace® TO1230178V - Hood Panel

The hood insert is more then the hood itself.. There are a couple others online for about the same price.. Has anyone ran one of these? It says there's no modifications required to install the hood

Sounds too good to be true

A lot of people run these. They are not the best quality. I run a cheap non OEM hood I got for $50. First small haul storm my hood looked like a golf ball. Other than that they usually work out pretty good.

I'm running a $100 aftermarket hood w/ $150 Toyota scoop. I had it professionally primed, painted & cleared. Underneath where the seams are it's starting to rust after 4 years. These things come primed already but not very well & who knows how well they are stored. They probably already have moisture underneath in the cheap primer.
If I had to do it again I'd get OEM from the junk yard & have a body shop do it right. Or buy a new one from Camelback. Here's how she looked in March of 2014 after a detail.
