VFN Wide Sunoco...

I am buying a VFN hood tomorrow... Unfortunately I can't find any pics of a wide sunoco hood actually installed on a car that show it in detail... VFN's website shows one, but you really can't tell what the hood looks like... Please post some detailed pics of any installed on any color camaro ( white would be great but not required)... I really appreciate any help you can give me!

I'm torn between this hood and the 3" SS hood... Any opinions?

I second that. The Sunoco looks better and flows better with the body lines. I personally don't like the way the SS hood stops at the back.

I don't have a wide hood, but I got the street hood. Here's a pic. I get compliments all the time and a lot of thumbs up and I would definately say it's a "head turner".

Yeah I like the street version alot better. Unless you have a bid block with a tall intake then I think its not needed. IMO they both look good but I myself will be getting the street one!!!

Is it hard to see out the windisheld with the wide VFN hood? It looks like it's kinda in the way.

My street version (3") gets in the way occationally, but I kinda lean my seat back more than others. Mainly when I'm going up a sudden hill, but it's not like I can't lean up or look around. The wide ones tho, I would imagine get in the way a lot...
