Got backed into by a very large truck in walmarts parking lot. Luckily they had a trailer hitch and the damage was very localised. I thought since I was replacing the hood I'd go with a bit of an upgrade. I've got to say I love the look of the hood, its not too over the top. I have to give a shout out to ls1_98 ebay member for the genvibe discount and super fast shipping.

Only damage was to the hood I take it. Are those hood top vents functional or just for looks?

I wish there were more pictures of an '05 front end so I could see what it would look like on mine

I agree with Lowincash. Normally I think scoops look dumb. That is the nicest one I have ever seen. Great choice gottabstick. HawaiiPontiacLover: As for shipping to Hawaii, I would think NUMMI could toss one out into San Fran Bay and float one out to you!! Oh yeah, that salt water thing!!

Thanks all. Yeah I have to say this looks so natural on the 03 GT shouldve came out like this stock. I like how theyre so subtle and stylish, some of the other scoops are too in your face for my liking. They've done a great job with making the scoops fit in with the existing curves of the car, it kinda looks like the G8s little bro. Definately worth the $800. The wife agrees too, which is nice because I promised we wouldn't put a dime into this car other than for maintainance. Now I've been hooked by the mod bug though. Please oh god of craigslist, bring to me a beautiful set of 18s w/rubber for under $700

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I've never been a big fan of a scoop hood on the vibe. Dunno why, this one reminds me of Jabba the Hutt's nostrils.but I'm also a big nerd, so don't mind me .
