Re: VFN SS Hood Pictures!!! I like it and want one but if it could be done I think it would look better if the sides of the scoop were sloped to the sides so it didn't pop out of the hood as fast.A little more of this / \ instead of this | |.Everyone I have shown it to likes it.

VFN should really make/or get one made...

Re: VFN SS Hood Pictures!!! looks like we have quite a few people here interested in seeing the hood a little wider, can VFN hearing this? could it be done? too late? i would wait longer to see that thing wider than that, at least another inch or two on each side, just so it is more like Jon Moss' ZL1 hood, and i'm not worried about having a grill made, it's a labor of love if i could get the hood wider, then it would be perfect!

Re: VFN SS Hood Pictures!!! "Wider Is Better"
Haha, grand prix commercials...
Wider would be a bit better, but I would buy one as is too.

Re: VFN SS Hood Pictures!!! I have a few questions.
1. Is this the final design?
2. Can someone photostop a wider hood just to see what it will look like? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
3. When will these SS hoods go on GP?
Thanks and Happy Holidays

Re: VFN SS Hood Pictures!!! Not interested in wider...
What is with you guys that keep saying wider, wider??? You look at a beautiful cowl and comment...
"only if it was wider". You look at an SS hood... "needs to be wider".
A scoop does not need to engulf the entire hood.
This is why wider is not better... A 12 yo kid could be in front of you and you couldn't see him over this crap:

Re: VFN SS Hood Pictures!!! I will probably be getting one of these whether it stays the same or is revamped and becomes wider. I like the heigth of it. Is not too gawky, but just right.

Re: VFN SS Hood Pictures!!! By wider, at least I, meant maybe an inch or two total, not like a foot! Yeah, that ram air hood is a bit extreme.
