I've emailed Eric @ MPD before about making a hood for the Malibu in the existing style of the 06-07 MPD Impala hood, and his response was that they weren't interested in making one. I don't know if he's had anyone else inquire about a hood, but I was thinking we might could get one made if we could get 5 of us to commit to it (seeing as how that seems to be the magic number for the G6 group buys). Would any of you be interested in this? Here's the link for some big shots: LINK

Re: Any interest in a hood?
Holy Crap
If its functional I would definitely be interested in that!! I dont really see the point if its just for show, but it functional, as I said, I'd be all over that shit!! Count me in!! Its not cheap tho... WOW!! $$875 plus paint!!! anyways... also we could see if he adapt a "Aluminum MPD CAI" that he recommends, to work with our Malibus...2006 Malibu Maxx SS

Re: Any interest in a hood?
Yea but for Eric @ MPD 5 is good for a group buy for hoods. Not sure for a NEW hood though if just 5 hoods would be worth it for Eric to design a all new hood.Originally posted by coolmanvette75usually the magic number is 10 for us 6ers2015 Chevy SS, Perfect Blue Metallic, Sunroof, No Spare, M6

Re: Any interest in a hood?
Yeah, I know getting him to produce something new is a long shot, but I figured if I came with 4 other names it would give it a little more weight than just me. I wouldn't be surprised if it runs the same price as the Impala hood, so quite pricey after paint. But we'll see. I'll keep an eye on this for a few weeks and see if we get any more trickle in to answer, then re-evaluate whether we want to try or not.

Re: Any interest in a hood?
I cant do a new hood design for 5 hoods. its about a min. of 300 hours and some $$ to get the job done. About 2500.00 per hood at that rate. Doing some hoods for trucks and Corvette's next.Comment

Re: Any interest in a hood?
huh... i guess thats that!!
Im guessing that the hood is steel, correct?? would it be cheaper in fiberglass?? My buddy has an 07 Charger, and there are two different hoods available for his car, one steel at $ 1065, and one fiberglass at $460. just a thought...
ps: both have functional ram air...2006 Malibu Maxx SS
