I got this hood off ebay for $70 shipped. I was sketchy on what the quality would be, but for the price I figured I would try. It arrived very well packed and it has some MINOR flaws in the clear, I refinish cars for a living and have seen worse clear jobs on factory cars, nothing that would be noticeable unless you were trying to find them. Anyhow install was easy a little under an hour and it has mounting holes already drilled so I used some stainless screws with nylock nuts. Lined up and follows the lines of the quad almost perfect. IMO the hardsest part was relocating the ignition switch. I will have to do without a neutral light, never payed attention to it when it was hooked up. All in all the product was well above wahat I expected in fit and finish. Here are some pics of it installed.

I got that same hood. I think I gave about $60 for mine. I also even seen a few guys get them for around $30 (must have gotten lucky?). Quad looks good!
