- Very quick overview: Here we have a night racing Camaro ss that swap the hood to a fiberglass ZL1 vented hood. Are aftermarket parts from carid worth it? Did you have a bad experience paying a lot of money for a part that was cheaply made? Let us know.👇👇👇
Damn bro, kept thinking it was too good to buy, appreciate ur post
My Cervini's hood fit my mMustang like a glove, and we great quality control.
My Cervini's hood fit my Mustang like a glove, and with great quality control. Perfect.
One problem I can imagine is these retailers get parts from different manufactures, and we don't know where they came from. If we knew that, we could avoid buying the poorly made products, and they would either get better, or go out of business. Either option is acceptable. :)
when it comes to being something you drive daily and you depend on it taking to places where you need to be, dont be cheap with it.
I agree, Unfortunately there was a huge restock fee for returning this item so I kind of just manipulated it's manipulated it to make it work and make sure it wouldn't cause any issues. Overall with a good set of hood pins I was able to hit over 140 and not have an issue. It just required a little extra reinforcement but at the same time when you buy how do you know it's cheap ya know?
It's not a painted part. Your supposed to get it sanded and painted. And gets fired proper. It's fiberglass. If it was metal then it would be the right size and with fiberglass you should use good pins on it. It's just like getting a body kit fitted on your car.
Oh I'm aware it's not painted, In the video it says I need to sand it down and actually painted but my car was already Matte black So there was no need for actual paint because everything else was just a wrap. Fiberglass is always a pain to work with but I was just disappointed in the quality of this hood
@@danderson200 but your supposed to take it to a body shop to shape it and get it to fit properly. All the flaws you picked out are what you expect from something like that. Carid isn't the only place that sells those. There supposed to be installed professionally by a body shop that works with fiberglass body kits. Alot you have to do a lot of prep to get the proper fitment. But if you know all that then why compare it to a steel part. But if you know all this then cool. I was just trying to help cause in the video didn't seem like you knew it wasn't painted and thought it was supposed to fit perfect. That's what I got from the video. My bad if you knew all that..
Honestly I think I may still get one of these brand hoods for my '16 mustang. Couldn't be any worse than the horrid stock panel gaps, of course 🤣
its not bad if you work out the minor flaws. It never comes out of the box perfect. there is work to be done to make it nice.
That's for showroom purposes only it says it in the description plus it's not legal to drive with
You can definitely drive with it, It's been on my car for a long time, The only issue I saw was that the edges start to kind of flex and it requires hood pins to hold down the edges while going over 80. Now I know fiberglass is obviously more fragile than metal, What I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to drive with considering the purpose of a hood is to drive with it on
@@danderson200 it's not a good product bud I'm sorry to say.. you spent 1000$ and it's a horribly designed hood it's literally for showroom purposes for like pictures and stuff you know as much as I do that hood is a complete rip off
Damn i am thinking about buyng a crowl hood 4 inches for my mustang 2012
How did it come out?
@@Blicky1983 looks good just need to paint it
@@RobertoGomez-hp8wu i am trying to get a 3inch cowl hood for an 08 mustang.. do you have IG to see how it came out ?
They don’t manufacture parts the distribute. That’s duraflex most likely I got my hood through them and it was indeed duraflex
Man I know I shouldn't buy from them, but damn I want that GT500 hood for my Mustang and they're the only ones making it for my car. For some reason Cervini isn't making one for 2010-12 Mustangs.
Did you get it ? How did it come out?
@@Blicky1983 no I didn't get it. Just going to wait for a reputable company to produce one.
@@christenn32 it’s not from them btw just got mine. It’s duraflex. Mine fit and was gone great. Just where the vents was iffy. My spacing and things were nice
they are unpainted you'll have to sand it down and paint it but just order a carbon trunk comes in tm hopefully its ok
I know its unpainted and it's just a primer but it's still chipped and crappy condition for what your paying for. The shipping was a nightmare
@@danderson200 how long did it take cause my comes tomorrow
@@carlosventura8856 the time it took wasnt to bad but the condition it arrived in was terriable. The box was destroyed and look like the ups guy ran it over or something. I'm sure when the lart left the warehouse it was fine but the delivery process really was the issue. I dont know ... all I know is it is damaged and requires extra work. They really should have a better way of shipping things then the way they have now.
@@carlosventura8856 did you end up getting your hood ?
Yeah its the wish of car parts! I'm good!
My 10th anniversary Jeep hood is so rusted and I can’t spend $1000 on a new one plus painting it to my jeeps color so I think I’m gonna try from this website since it’s only $300. Kinda sketch tho
How was it?
It good or nah
Parts manufacturing, or just retail?
I just got 4 wheels, and one is not holding air. It turn out, there is no refund for wheels if the tires are mounted on the rims. They mounted the tries on the rims, and I get no customer service. I just wanted to send it back, and their shop can figure out why it leaks, and get a different build. But that makes too much sense. I could not make it though their first demand, that I take it to a local shop, at my expense, (cause they are professionals ya know for sure), so they can find out why it leaks. I needed to get documentation for the first phase of a process he tried to offer me, and then, eve though they put the tire on, would get the manufactures involved. This crap could take months. I am going to fix it myself at my expense, and just never call them again. I don't expect them to be responsible for the manufactures quality, but I expect them, like anybody else, to be responsible for their own actions. If you get good stuff, you may not have a problem, (their delivery was good). But if you have a problem,-----it is your problem. No "meaningful" service after the sale.
"IF WE WOULD ONLY DO BUSINESS WITH GOOD PEOPLE, WE WOULD ONLY HAVE GOOD BUSINESS!" Carid are not those good people IMO.
How long was shipping ? How long did it take for your item to arrive
About 2 weeks
It took me 3 months :/
@@angelbravo3499 mines took like 2 weeks
@@jaysteezy_srt6896 - lucky. My hood was damaged on initial shipment and the delivery driver himself sent the hood back. They offered me a claim to pay for it but I told him I wanted another hood and when it came it was pretty good. Took two months but it was worth the wait.
@@shill1444 my man you have good patients lol ,least you got your hood that you wanted.
You are mistaken. CAR ID does not manufacture car parts. They are an online website that sells car parts. The quality and fitment of the parts depends on the manufacturer of that part and not on the retailer. You could have done some basic research on the company that made the part to determine exactly what you were getting.
But carid is selling the part as a retailer you choose who’s parts you choose to sell they know what their doing and a lot of these companies own other companies and choose to have em under different names for that exact reason not to take accountability
Damn, this one looks like garbage. Bought one for my Chevy Cruze and it looks fuckin perfect. Has the mesh but it's a double layered hollow Hood. You got chumped
Yes. It doesn't make any sense, I bought a vented hood to replace my hood and had no problems with it. It bolted on like the old hood, it's heavy and lined up with the Body Lines pretty good.
Had to adjust a few times on both sides to line it up completely so there was no gap between the fender but my hood turned out great, this guy definitely just got beat on this buy. That's a shame.
CarID is a gamble
Cant you return it if anything?
@@erickmireles8528 nope
Don’t do it
They sold me a good looking air filter box but they molded the tube the exact size of the hose
It won’t work like that
Total waste of time and no refund
They just taking money you can’t even use their stuff
No hate but man that thing is shit tier
CARiD is HORRIBLE!
