Here are a couple of pics of my pin-on. BUT..............
I'll be the odd one and say I would never buy anything else from them again. They told me 5-6 weeks, it took just short of 2 months to get it delivered. I was lied to 3 weeks in a row saying it would be shipped out by the end of those weeks. Customer service and general service attitiude is probably around the worst I've ever had to deal with.
That's my experience with them.
Yours cars all look great.

You made this thread just to taunt us without the VFN hoods! I was really about to order myself a VFN Sunoco hood, but for the fact that it will take weeks to recieve I am going to stick with the SS hood..

Wow, that is not like VFN at all. I don't get it, also in my head 6 weeks and 2 months are only 2 weeks difference. So if it took just short of 2 months that is less than 2 weeks. So add in the time to deliver AFTER the six weeks it takes to make it (per their quote) and we are talking a matter of just a few days depending on how far it was shipped.
It sucks that you had a bad experience, sorry to hear that.

It wasn't like that, I called them at about the 5 week mark, they told me it was shipping at the end of the week, I called the fabricator and made an appointment to have it mounted, the next week, no hood, I called and they said it would ship by the end of the week. Next week, no hood they call on like a thurs and ask if I want the grilles cut out, I said it's supposed to be here already and you're just askin me this now?? I then spoke to a couple of different managers, at least they said they were and 2 of the 3 were nasty on the phone.
I finally got it the following week. Missed my appointment, had already sold my other hood and I couldn't even drive the thing out to the shop to get some other parts put in that I had bought. They totally screwed my whole sh*t up, what a mess. The fabricator then couldn't fit me in so I wound up putting it in myself.
Anyone that knows me will tell you that I'm a very reasonable guy but VFN definately did not do the right thing by me.
They said they would discount my next order, next order??...yeah right.
The worst part is, it doesn't even fit that great, way too narrow by the front of both fenders, spacing toward the back was right on but not the front.
Sorry for the long post but it's a long story.

I even ran a new best of 10.38 a couple of weeks ago!!
Enough about my experience, don't wanna hijack the thread, there are some amazing looking cars in this thread and I'd rather read about them and see some more pics!!
Keep 'em coming.

That really sucks to hear, I wish you had a better experience but I understand your frustration after hearing the story. I do agree with phantomzerO though, I wish that VFN had gotten a chance to make things right for you. I hope no one else has the same experience you did.
BTW, congrats on that 10.38! At that speed I couldn't see the hood anyways!

The fitment was great on my WS6 style hood. The finish/gel coat was great too. I didn't like like how flimsy it was on the flat areas. You could push it in real easy. Other than that, it was solid. I got rid of that hood pretty quick though. It wasn't exactly a replica of the OEM hoods. It was too flat and blended in by the back of the humps. You'll see in the pic below. OEM is much better defined and aggressive. If I had a Camaro, I'd definately buy a Sunoco hood thought
