VFN Customer Appreciation Gallery
I do hereby certify this thread as VFN Customer Appreciation. VFN has provided top-notch fiber-glass products for over 30 years. The company is nothing but 100% professional. Their amazing customer service is as well known as their awesome products.
I have personally test fit 2 pre-production hoods for VFN. The first was the WS9 Outlaw Hood for 98-02 Firebirds and the second was a Sunoco Stlye Hood for a 93-97 Camaro. Having seen first hand the amazing quality of work, on a pre-production hoods no less, I was certain I would be returning to VFN to purchase a regular style WS6 hood for my Firebird. Of course, the hood was nothing short of quality. The hood fit 99% as well as OEM and needed virtually no work before paint. My painter told me it was one of the nicest hoods he'd ever worked on. I would have to go ahead and rank my entire experience with them a 10/10. Here's some pics of the finished hood, to get a good idea of just how well everything turned out!
I'd like to ask that anyone who has purchased a hood from VFN and has been satisfied with the product, please post up a pic and tell us your story of success with VFN.

I bought the Sunoco no line from them, I was quoted around 6 weeks and I actually picked it up from VFN at almost exactly 5 weeks. The fit is great, the prep needed to make it look good with gloss black was minimal. My painter also commented on the quality of the hood compared to most of the after market hoods he has seen in the last 20 years of painting.
I get TONS of compliments on my car and a lot of those comments are due to the hood.
Great customer service, I actually called all the time to check on it and they did not mind my obsessiveness at all!
I would (and have) recommend VFN to anyone looking for a high quality fiberglass hood that fits right and is priced right.

I would rank them a 9/10 with some communication problems. I've discovered that they don't return emails and the receptionists can't offer good advice on how to prep a hood before paint
Painting it myself next week.

I honestly don't even know what to say here. I have NEVER had the pleasure of dealing with a company as good as VFN. Their products are top notch, they staff is second to none, and their speed of service is excellent.
Thank you VFN for everything. I continue to sing your praises to the world and everyone who's ever looking for anything fiberglass parts. I will never even consider going anywhere else in my entire life.
Here's pictures of their Sunoco hood on my '99 Camaro and their 4" cowl induction hood on my '94.
Oh and both of these cars are daily drivers here in WI. That means they see snow, salt, rain, everything and both hoods have stood the test of time and have come out unscaved.

When I emailed a few questions to VFN about their WS6 hoods, they told me the most common adjustments are adjusting your hinge area to accomidate for a fiberglass hood (which is thicker then factory) there are also some adjustments needed around the headlight area. Will the body shop take care of this for me or am I responsible for this? Has anybody ran into these adjustments before?

Any time you switch the hood on your vehicle (OEM or aftermarket) your going to run into adjustments. It's relatively easy to do but it can be painstaking at times. Before you get your hood painted, it's recommended to let it cure for 30 days. During this time, it's a good idea to talk to your body shop and see what they can do for you. Of course, I really don't even need to say it, but VFN will assist you with any questions you have with aligning your hood. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

I can't say how well my hood fits. My body guy said that my Sunoco fit better then some OEM he's seen. Great customer service and awesome prices as well.
I'll post back in a few days when the whole car is painted and in the sun for you guys. Thankyou VFN!!!

Thanks man. I'll be getting some stripes painted later on but I'm going to give it alittle time so I can think it out and come up with something really nice. From what I was looking at it's alittle tricky to get the stripes right the way I wanted them with the way the sides come in so close at the front. But I'll get something worked out with it soon enough

I think that since you have the line on your cowl it would look GREAT! Like steps

Obviously altered from that (maybe even solid in the center) but you get the idea...
OR, and this is my favorite, a mixture of the two:
It's the Barry White 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Super Muscle Car and I think that (with your silver pinstripe) it could look AMAZING on your car

Damn it seems like you've been thinking about this more then I have. I thought about the stepped stripes but I don't think they would fit really well. I dunno, when I get it back in a few days I'll lay out some tape and send some pics to ya. But since you mentioned it I may have to go with a silver pinstripe again too
