Talking NEW PHOTOS! VFN Sunoco Style Hood

Woo Hoo! This thing fits great. My Sunoco hood showed up last week, I've been drooling over this design since GM made the Sunoco show car. I'm glad that VFN finally made one for us!

I took several photos, check them out here: https://ls1tech.com/VFNhood/index.htm

I like it, but the more I look at it, the more the cowl looks too narrow to me. Still up in the air about this one, having a hard time deciding between keeping my "SS" hood, and getting this hood.

Man that looks great. The cowl looking from the side of the car. Curve's with the bodyline perfect. BTW Congrat's on the Hugger SS purchase. That's one rare car. A dude here in B.G. has one that works at Holley. I have to stare at it at least once a day.

Very nice! Got any pics from inside the car? I'm wondering how it affects visibility, if at all.

Its like an inch taller than the wipers. I don't think you'll be running into stuff cause you didn't see it.


Nice hood, Tony. Now hurry up and get that thing running. Oh, also...is that a lift-off? It looks like it goes pretty far back towards the windshield.

Hey tony, have you ever had NBM matched? I was thinking about a hood, but i hear that this is THE hardest color to match.... yikes... also it prob pretty expensive? How much you think sometyhing like this would set u back?

Visibility is not an issue at all.

Would like to see some painted pics also. Still debating if I should get rid of the pin on SS hood and get this one.
