Pin On Hood Quick Pics Been super busy and going on 3 months, but finally got the VFN pin on painted and the hood pins powder coated.
Dont hate I know she's dirty..
Got the front signal blackouts on the way, I want to clean up the headlights too.
Anyhow I'm happy!
When I clean her up and get the other things done I'll get better pics.

and you did this why?
Man I don't understand why you wouldn't "Upgrade" since you already decided on buying a new hood.
Just FYI, I also deleted the front bumper support. Car handles great and I'm right over 3200lbs...give or take a few lbs.

Simple, save weight... do I have to say more? 60 to 10lbs is a no brainer.
Its a Z28, and besides is kinda of a sleeper look. I have always been about the less is more mindset.

I understand weight reduction. I don't see why you went to such lengths for it. You bought a pin on hood which is about ugly! Only hood that should have pins on it is a 67 shelby mustang. You chose 20 pounds over making your car look 10X better. If this isn't going to be an all out drag car you're an idiot.

Second of all, I'm just going to treat your post as your opinion, and leave it at that.
The part thats funny is how you are calling me an idiot, without knowing anything about me or my car. I guess your math is a little out of wack..
stock hood 55lbs
pin on hood 10lbs
!front bumper! 20lbs
stock battery 35lbs
light weight battery 17lbs
Thats around 80lbs gone from the front of the car. Never said she was a show car either.
Anyone who actually drives their car hard, drag or road race can appreciate over 150lbs in weight reduction.
I just showing you my hood geez! I'm not trying to rub it in anyones face on how better it is than an SS hood.
I have seen way uglier mods, with better responses.

Ignore the appearance snobs. I like it.
Your car is YOUR car, do with it as you wish. Lord knows there are enough UGLY F-Bodies around my area, but I keep my mouth shut.
I plan on doing a pin-on sometime soon on my car, was gonna do it this year, but ran short of money. I'm gonna do the VFN Sunoco though.
