Default Aftermarket Hood?

Would you buy one? partstrain.com is selling Mach 1 hoods that aren't genuine ford parts, but are meant to be a direct replacements. What do you think, will I be able to even tell it's not ford if I bought one and put it on my car?

Dont buy from a company that doesnt have a good rep. Itll just cost you a **** load of $$$ in the end. I have a Kaenen 3" cowl.

:stupid: Do your research on any company that you are going to buy a hood from.It's better to spend a little more and get a great fitting and quality hood than one that fit's poorly or the quality is crappy.

Most definitely find someone who has a hood from them or go with a known name because i bought a cheap hood and it was exactly what i spent cheap. I ended up buying a Steeda Q 400 hood and throwing away the other one. Learned my lesson the hard way.
