www.not-a-sponsor.com.org.net.gov sells them painted and ready to bolt on....My white one matched perfectly.

Please do not post any non-sponsor contact info.

Thanks,
Craig.

Yeah that's mine in the baby pic. It's very stock appearing except it's a little more aggressive IMO than the stock WS-6 hood. Slightly higher at the back and a little wider than stock. It actually came in a white color.

Here's a pic of the VFN regular style Ram-Air hood:




As I've said before, VFN quality is top notch and second to none. My biggest concern when I was shopping for a ram-air hood was attaining an oem look and an oem fitment. Both fit and finish are superb and IMO the closest look to the oem ram air hood available.

Torched - note that VFN is located right here in the Chicago area, so you'd actually save a dime by picking the hood up instead of having it shipped. I'm pretty sure they are in addison, which is right off of 355.

i bet the painted hoods would match, they use the paint code that gm uses, so it would be like taking a non painted on to a gm shop.

Yeah, you'll have to get it painted, I didn't get mine painted yet though. I got my hood with the gp and I paid 400$ for it.

yea but if a car has been exposed to sun, road grime and dirt that might throw the color scheme off a bit????
