Default Sunoco hood with body line "Pics"

we're ready to go into the mold phase, but here are is a sneak peak the line begins 6" from the front of the hood and 6" from the back of the hood, sorry about the lighting in the pictures if they appear dim, any feedback would be appreciated as long as its not

mabie you can extend the line to meet up and blend into the crease on the bumper? i think it would look better that way

Is the line like a crease/indention or does it stick out from the hood, its kinda hard to tell from the pics?

We currently offer the sunoco without the line. The line sticks up off the hood about a 1/4 of an inch.

Thats pretty cool that VFN cares enough to give us some options like this. Just a minor detail, but to some people it is very important.

Thank you Tony!!
We appreciate everyone on the board and want everyone to be happy with the products they recieve from us. Without the input we have from the guys/gals here we wouldn't have cool hoods like our SS hood or WS6 or the Sunoco!
Anyone who is interested in being added to a gp for this, please let me know. I would need a minimum of 10 for a gp discount.
Thanks again!!

Amen @ that. Not only that they care enough to give 2 versions of the hood, but they're also on the site asking perspective and current customers their opinions on how to make their products better and more appealing.

2 for VFN, and all the other sponsers who're here participating and making the Tech community better.

Is it possible to make it the same line as the stock, flat hood? Not really raised, but kind of just a very discreet crease like the Z28 hoods have that runs the entire length of the hood.

ya thats kind of what i was saying. the people who like the sunoco hood, but didnt buy the first version, did so because it didnt blend with the lines of the stock hood. make the line blend into the bumper. please? lol

oh also, is there gonna be a GP and is there gonna be a carbon fiber model?

We can put a gp together if we have 10 guys interested....black_z, I have you on the list (thanks!) The price would be the same as the other sunoco style (without the line). Without gp, $550.00 for a bolt on, with gp, $450.00 and on the pin on - without gp $450.00, with $350.00.
We can do our products in c/f, however, it would not be a "cosmetic" style c/f - one that you can see the weave of the c/f material thru a clear gelcoat finish. Our c/f products are gelcoated in black and require painting. These are geared more for additional weight savings off the fiberglass hoods. For example, our bolt on hoods generally weigh in between 25-27lbs and c/f hood would weigh approx. 12-15lbs.
I will check with production and see about the crease. It's hard to get a good angle on the picture to really show what the crease looks like, but I'll see if we can get some additional pics up with a different agle. We are basing this off the dick harrel pictures that we have.
Thanks.
Jeanie

That is an awesome hood. If I had a camaro, I'd be on the list already. IMO, the line needs to go all the way to the back end of the hood on top of the cowl. On the front, I think it should gradually raise up into the line you have now, but start at the very front and go from the slight almost nonexistant crease in the bumper into what it is now. But thats .02 from a firechicken owner who doesn't even have a camaro anymore.

I agree with Tony: It's awesome that a company cares enough to offer two slightly different designs for those that want it. More companies should be like them.

This was the version that I was waiting for. The line does appear out of nowhere though. If it can be made to meet up with the bumper line, I think it would look better. Not ready to get the hood now, maybe another GP later this year?
