Default VFN 4" hood on my 99 TA

Well guys what ya'll think of it? Im planning on painting it when it warms up a bit. Im going to repaint the car red but with black stripes with ghost flames inside of the stripes.

I like it, looks killer man! I can't wait to see that beauty painted! Your gonna make import racers **** their pants
I would highly recommend getting some new wheels though, those stockers just don't go with the look of the car anymore

I'm thinking of getting that same hood, but the bolt on style. How was fitment/quality? I hear VFN is good. And you say the visibility isn't too bad?

yep fully functional.. but the air box isnt really raised any so prob not to much air actually gets in the air lid.

I'm not gonna lie i think it looks ridiculous...if you had some crazy outlaw race car or something i can see it for space, but for a street car...not so much, but it doesn't matter what i think..I'm glad your happy!

well im only 5'9 and i can see over it just fine. fitment it was actually better than expected i guess. I do need to shave some areas and just some lil stuff but ill do that when im going to paint it. You definitely get some looks from it ( or that could just be my straight headers)

Looks just like mine did

Looks good, the fitment on mine was great too. I was surprised at how well it lined up. I was at the track soon after I bought mine and cranked it up with the cutout open. Everyone that was near the car jumped back I got a few pics of mine before the wreck with the hood painted. It'll give you and idea of what it will look like. You could always photoshop some stripes on these to see what you like better.

The whole car will look a lot better with some draglights. I like the hood, but it isn't a look for a street car.

The hood definitely looks a little out of place on the street. Now if the car had a 25 point cage, with a mini-tub in the back, and drag bars, then it would look more appropriate.

I'm glad your happy with it and that the quality is A-1.
