Fitment wasn't horrible but just alot worse than I had with my Sunoco hood and others I have seen.

I loved the look of it. But just driving with it was horrible.

I won't hesitate to buy another VFN hood.

New style VFN I love it. I'm use to the tall hoods. Had a 5.5" on a cutlass then a 3" plus an old school pro stock scoop on a 75 Camaro that was back halfed/caged/bb/etc etc.

Unlike the older design VFN carries, this newer design drops down to the windshield. I have a friend who has the older style I sat in his then in mine and he did the same. He wants what I have because its easier to see over.

They have two styles of that hood. The true 4 inch and the sloped 4 inch I think I'd prefer the 4 inch sloped.

After seeing the 4" sloped I may still do it. It is a weekend toy and getting some parts that will match the look...

Ive seen one on a black car before and it really went well. Doesnt look right on that red ta though.

Maybe because it is a vert and has the short spoiler too? I think it makes the high profile stand out. And maybe the headlight covers as well.
