Well looking at your sig it looks like you have an LT1. So here's a picture of my LT1 with a VFN 4" cowl induction hood.

I need to update the photos of my car. My cowl isn't all in the center. It expands out real wide at the top.

i had the body shop put it on when my car was wrecked, so it was a peice of cake for me
it does line up well, and there are no washers used to line everything up. so i say its a great peice!!!!

i've got a 4" AND it's for sale. It's black as is. I'm asking $300 for it but shipping is extra. If your interested let me know. I'm not sure what brand off the top of my head and i'm in NYC on business 'til this coming friday so i won't be able to tell you for sure but i think it's a VFN or glasstek.
