Default Fiberglass WS6 - Best Fit / Durability

Guys, I've been considering getting a WS6 hood for my 1999 Formula. Originally my plan was to get one used but they go like hotcakes and whenever I see one its usually too late and someone has bought it. My next idea was to go to a local junkyard and see if they have any there, but they don't inventory parts so it would be a crap-shoot if there is one or not. The only alternative then would be to get an aftermarket fiberglass hood. I know fiberglass hoods usually require extra prep and paint in order to match the car and fit properly but I know that some companies make better products than others. From your experiences, what is the best fitting, out of the box, WS6 and also, what is the most durable? (that's a big concern for me also)

I know VFN is pretty well known.....

go VHN....you cant beat the price for what you get. I was gonna get an OEM hood but prices are ridiculous...almost double.


I have a thread that shows out of the box fit and its pretty freaking good!

No worries, I did a search and didn't see anything. I know VFN has been around for a while so I figured they would be the best bet unless I can find a cheap OEM somewhere somehow in good condition and preferably already red

Trufiber. I absolutely LOVE mine. Fit is wonderful (needs to be adjusted with the fender/front qp a bit. Nothing out of the ordinary). Hardly any prep needed. Painted/cleared/mounted: my local shop did it for $300. Couldn't be more pleased. Best bang for your buck IMO.
