Default VFN 4" Ram Air bolt on T/A Hood

Does anyone have the VFN 4" Ram Air bolt on hood for the Trans Am? If so could you post some pictures up? I really think that is the hood I want but would really like to see some good pictures of it before I order. Thanks.

If your car isnt at least an 11 second car dont get it.. Honestly if I saw someone driving with one of those on a daily driver I would probably laugh at how hard they try to get attention. Doesn't look like it flows with the Trans Am"s sleek look to well at all.

fitment was very good, one of the best i seen for aftermarket hoods on our cars... and yes the factory style ram air looks far better

there are 100 other reason why i wouldnt buy this hood lol and i would NEVER recommend this hood unless your car is a track only... just my .02

with that said, fitment and quality was great

98Blackbird... you wanna buy it back huh?

And thanks for the pics guys. I agree it looks awesome from the front and not too much from the sides. I think I will just pick me up a ram air hood and call it good. Too bad they don't have one that is between the stock and 4".

Hated mine. Fit was so so. The drivers side front had a flare up so I had to shim the headlight cover up. I am also 6'5 and you CAN NOT see anything to the right of the car up front.

hahahah YES!! the worse part of this hood is that, its an accident waiting to happen, i hated driving my car for that reason, and at night it was worse, you cant see ****, you start seeing the road where the light ends on the road, this is the reason why i stated for "track only"

sucks yours didnt fit well, my did as you can see in the pic (blue ta)

I have had three hoods from VFN and only had one fit that I am happy with which is a Sunoco for a Camaro. Both TA hoods have not fit well.

I am installing a aftermarket WS6 hood this weekend on the car as I figured it was worth a shot for the price.

They look very good in black I think. Mayb the red makes it look bigger than it really is.
Ive seen one on a black car before and it really went well. Doesnt look right on that red ta though.
