Default Thinkin about a Cowl hood...

aright guys i have my ss hood for sale and i plan on a vic jr intake so i will prolly need a cowl hood, looking around for some good lookin cowl hoods i ran across this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...1%7C240%3A1318
it looks like a sunoco hood sorta its rounded edges which i like alot, but i havent found any more pics of it anywhere except that one, everywhere i look its the same pic.. what you guys think??? looks like the same hood on the Dick Harrell cars, dunno if its safe to get or not lol..

VFN Fiberglass which is a sponsor here sells that hood! They call it the sunoco hood.. And you will probably be better off getting it from them because their quality is amazing...

Not just that it looks like it but that is the Sunoco hood with center line.

Why take a chance when the one from VFN is only a few dollars more?

Wait for a VFN group purchase. Mine was a steal, so I bought it asap. Mine doesn't line up too well either. I thought it was just the guy that installed it, but a few members have had fitment issue too. (maybe all of our body guys sucked? lol) Overall I like it a lot.

remember, you need to paint the hood also. You might save some money buying an ebay hood but you will definitely spend more on prep/paint work.
