Default VFN 3" SS hood. What do you guys think? Pics

Got it back from the body shop. Had them paint the front bumper as well because it didn't match the bumper.I think it looks prety good other than the gaps by the fenders. (fenders are pulled in all they can go)

Car looks awesome.

Total cost to have the hood and both bumpers painted, and fix those parts of the fenders that pop out from having the car jacked up improperly was $1746. I am still considering what to do with that black grill piece. The one that VFN gives you isn't a exact fit. You have to sand down/modify the opening of the hood to make it fit.

i was testing fitting mine and found the same problem. i asked vfn and they said its only a rough opening that the owner needs to finish off.

I wanted that hood for my car, but wasn't sure about the grille. Thanks for clarifying. That's something you shoulda had done at the body shop!

And hollllllllllleeeeeeeeey ****, $1700 for that amount of work? Body shops around here charge about 1/2 of that, and I know a guy personally that was going to paint one for me for $100 + materials.

looks great. i like the scoop without a grill, you get to give people just a little peek at what's inside
