Company History

Suncoast Automotive Performance, Inc. began life as Suncoast Creations, Inc. in 1993 under Mr. Phil Grabo.  Phil's vision to provide custom performance hoods became a reality under his guidance from 1993 to 2000. 

Richard "Dick" Chouinard purchased the company from Phil at a time when Phil's need for new challenges overcame his love for Ram Air Hoods.  Dick and the Suncoast Creations team brought the company into the 21st century before retirement loomed heavily over Dick's head.

On July 31, 2006 Suncoast Automotive Performance, Inc. bought the assets of Suncoast Creations, Inc. and took over operations.  Many of the faces from Suncoast Creations team remained in place while the ownership transitioned.  The new leadership has made a commitment to maintain product quality, improve customer service, increase technical support, and invigorate new product development

This was my first time ordering from your site, and whenever i had a question or comment, your crew always responded quickly, clearly, and courteously. I can't wait for my new hood to arrive.

04/11 -  Attached is a photo of my 2005 GMC 2500HD the hood is wrapped in line x.  I can really notice that the turbo spools faster and the truck runs cooler with the hood installed.  I love the tough look the hood gives my truck it was worth the money.  Thx, John J
