Default 3" ss hood

Ok guys I got a 2000 ss camaro and need a hood for it. I really like the 3 inch ss hood from vfn. Does anyone else make this 3 inch hood or is vfn the best? How is vfn hoods quality and fitment. If I spend the money on this hood I want paint to stick to it and want the lines to look good. So i'm just trying to get some advice before I jump on it. Thanks guys.

I have the vfn 3" ss hood. It's defently a awesome hood. It's a ss hood and a cowl hood at the same time. The cowl is opened in the back and also the front is opened.

Yes it comes with the screen for the front opening. VFN will cut the front out for you for free just make sure you tell them. That way it's a perfect fit for the screen - Mike. Wait for a gp. You can save over 100.00 like I did

Yeah VFN will have a group purchase every so often. Need to have a bunch of people interested in purchasing a vfn hood. I think you still get 10% off if I remember correctly without a gp. Just make sure you tell them that your a ls1 tech member to receive your discount. Also make sure you tell them that you want the front grill opened - Cutout.
