I'm happy with my trufiber, but I also paid $300 for it brand new. All the gaps are perfect

Craigslist, haha. guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that has Trufiber hookups i guess. if you want i could see if I can get another. Mine was never unwrapped at all. The guy said he gets them 10-15 at a time from trufiber and sells them at events for $500, but mine was just sitting in his storage unit in the way of building a different car.

VFN makes an extremely high quality hood as well. Amazing customer service (Jeannie on here will help you out in a heartbeat).

But, like others have said it is Fiberglass so you will have to work pretty extensively on fitment. I'm waiting till the summer to decide exactly how good the hood fitment comes out to be on my car.

Oh and just FYI, the only work we did to make it fit perfect was elongate the rear hing hole where the little tab sits....that is IT.

Roger makes strong *** hoods!!! If you go with the chris1313 ram air, try to see if you can get heat extractors in the hood, either in the rear or on the sides of the hood (raptor) that way when you are driving, the air will go into the "nostrils" and help get rid of the engine heat a bit better......
