Default Vfn ws6 hood :(

i just recieved my ws6 hood from vfn and have 2 major fitment problems, 1 the hinge hole is way to small to fit the stock piece, and 2 the holes where the hinges connect to the car both the holes are about an inch too far forward. oh and anyone thinking of buying this hood and making it functional i wouldnt buy this hood, its a whole lotta work to make this one functional. well I guess you get what you pay for. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Great, can't wait to get mine. I don't think many others have this problem. Most say the quality and fitment is very good.

Slick, I don't think I've heard of too many aftermarket hoods that didn't take some kind of adjustment. Maybe some other guys with aftermarket hoods can pitch in here? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I also understand you're frustrated, but coming on here bashing the quality of the hood before even talking to VFN, isn't the best way to get the problem remedied.

I can speak for my aftermarket hood. I have had the SLP Ram Air H.O. hood for about a year now, I like it a lot. The fitting wasnt too dificult, and well worth it in my opinion. Its also very functional. Just my 0.02
