I have bought from Flip and frankly, I think the side panel and hood quality might actually be better than the OEM. I would definately consider Flip. I just bought some stuff from them in the last 30 days and the service was excellent and the parts exactly what I needed and I paid about 60% of what Deere wanted.................

I have no personal experience with Flip hoods but have read in the forums that the color can be slightly off from OEM. It does beg the question that they might be comparing a new Flip hood to their older, faded parts.
