I have two VFN hoods, the 4" cowl induction hood on my '94 and the Sunoco hood on my '99 and both fit perfectly without any extra work needed by the body shop. In fact I got charged a super low rate because of how little prep work was needed.

Damn that's a tall hood. Once you get it, post pics. You'll need to take to the body shop anyways, so let us know how it goes.
