Default VFN Hoods

How many of you own a VFN hood for your T/A? How is the fit and quality? I'm looking at the WS6 or WS9 Outlaw.

I've owned two VFN hoods now, one for my '94 Camaro and one for my '99 Camaro and the finish and fitment have been great on both. I highly recomand them.`

Looks great to me. Thats the answer I was looking for. It looks like the scoops are raised a tad other than that it looks good to me. Do you have pics of the finished product?

Ws6 is the stock looking ws6 hood. the ws9 hood is a ws6 hood with heat extractors, and the ws9 outlaw is the ws9 hood with a two inch. lift at the end of the ram air tunnels.

I just got a WS6 hood from VFN. It took about 6 weeks to get made. The fit is ok, but it is not flawless and doesent look as good as a OEM hood. Along time was spend trying to get my hood lined up using the hinges, bumpers, lock etc. The edges of the hood behind the headlights sit a little to high for my likeing. When the car sits outside in the sun for a while I guess the fiberflass gets hot and the sides of the hood behind the headlights fold down (its weird) but it looks flawless when it does that.

A few days after putting the hood on the car with the stock hood springs. I noticed the hood was cracking where the springs attached to the hood. I took the stock springs off and went to VFN. They said they have never seen this before and would fix it for free for me. So when my car is in storge the cracks in the hood will be fixed.

My advice: You cant beat VFN's prices but I would try to find a used oem hood first for a good price before you buy a aftermarket hood.
