Default My VFN hood

I got a stock bolt on style WS-6 hood. a little work and i got it to fit good. I sanded it, primed it, blocked it all out, wetsanded it. I had it hanging in my garage and after the final coat of clear, it was perfect. about 10 min later my garage door spring decided to give. it sent **** flying everywhere. imbedded dirt and stuff in the clear. so the next day i spent about 4 hours wetsanding it all down again, and had to re spray it. but after all that BS, the hood looks and fits good. i also made my ramair scoops functional. sealed off the inside of the hood and the air is directed into the factory style airbox.

good to hear your happy with it. im sure it looks great. vfn makes a good hood. ive put a few on cars at my body shop, and they dont take much work, to make them perfect. sux that your door spring gave out, but hey, at least it looks good now.

is your VFN hood carbon fiber?

if not, does it weigh more or less than the stock ss hood?
