I'm not sure what NW stands for but if it is New Way Autosports, you won't be disappointed. I bought my kit from them and I had the kit in less time than I was promised and it was a great price.

I think NW stands for Northwest. What kind of kit did you purchase? How much shipped? Was it a good quality kit?

I did.
I ordered it from Body Kit NW around the end of the year last year.
It's for my 98SS.
I got it really fast. Within a week, no complain there. Hood is decent quality.
It was made by TC spoiler.
Shipped from Carisma.
However it come with a scratch.
Looks like someone cut the bubble wrap by accident and just clear tape the bubble wrap back up. I was pretty furious about that one.
My hood is still in limbo somewhere on the way back to TC spoiler to get swapped out. My shipping company send it to the wrong address.
Andy at Body Kit NW is great to talk to. However he will only have QA ability on whatever he ship out of his own store/warehouse. So far Carisma is not very high in my opnion in this case.
Just thought I'd let you share my ordeal so far. If you are serious about hoods, I learned I should've ordered with my local speed shop and thus be able to inspect the hood before I take delivery. Make sure you inspect the whole hood before taking delivery.
Hope that helps.
Over all fitment is okay, weave is very nice, quality is above average. But don't expect it to fit like your factory hood.
You also need to drill for rubber seals and wind shield squirters and also you would need hood pins to feel safe for high speed.
Over and out.
98SS.

I bought my Wings West Big Mouth bumper from them for $320 shipped to my work address. It arrived in perfect condition and the fitment is absolutely perfect.

Here is a pic of it after I got it back from the shop. The shop said this bumper with my Kaminari sides and rear was the best fitting kit they have installed:
