Extreme Dimension Fiberglass hood
I was looking at possibly purchasing a new hood and I cant find a TII one local to me so I was wondering if anybody had any info on an ED D1 hood...

I'd only get it if your efficient with fiberglass work. A bodyshop with a skilled bodyman can do this but, it will be test fit, modify, text fit, modify until they get it to fit correctly. This would be fine if you weren't paying them per/hour at $50+/hour. Fitment will likely be poor.
Also the duraflex is pretty much useless on a hood. Why would you want your hood to flex like a bumper? The way the tern is thrown around on ebay and auto part sites is rather trendy and suspicious to me.

i'm definitely not an expert at body work or anything but i've fitted aftermarket hoods on both my cars and neither took much more than an hour to do. putting a hood on is pretty straight forward. it's just the 4 bolts for the hinges. line up the hood with the body then finish tightening them. i also ran hood pins to make things easier but if you plan on keeping the hood latch just loosen the bolts on it a little (just enough to be able to slide it) and adjust it to fit right

Companies that consistently make good product: Shine Auto and Seibon.
Extreme Dimensions is typically low end product. I've seen in person some of their fenders and bumpers. There are a lot of areas on the car I don't mind DIY or off brand...I've rarely seen those Ebay style companies make a good fitting product...and let's not even talk about the waves and the small thickness of the fiberglass.
Think you are saving $300 over a "name brand"? Wait until your body work costs you like $500! =)
