The VFN Smoothie-Q hood looks awsome. I wish I hat that hood instead of the pos (not vfm) the p/o installed. The passenger side is not even close, either the rear by the winshield sticks up or the rest of the side is way too low if the rear is even. Some company was so proud of this thing they didn't put their name on it. The mold needs to be tossed in the trash.

Good luck, im sure your hood will be awsome. Sorry for the lil vent. Brian.

I have that hood on mine. It's lighter than the original, but was either a production piece of frack, or it was damaged and someone tried to fix it, and did a poor job. However, the consistency of "lack of smoothness" around the entire outer edge, where pieces are bonded together, I think is is a bad production I have.

Yes, I like the looks. Just don't look at it close.

The black color doesn't match my black paint either.

On the car when I bought it. Thinking to get the whole car's body fixed where needed and painted. A HS buddy of mine has a restoration shop, and will do the work for me cheap... $3500.
