without! i think they went a little to much when they did the body line! Should of made it a little smaller bodyline! Im going to get a new bumper and sunco hood W/O body line and im going to have the bumper sanded down so no body line on it too

I like the either way but I think the center line would look sharp on your car! Like they said it just flows with your spoiler and all. Def wanna see pics when it is bought

If I think it's too much, I'm sure Richey Collision will fix it for me. They did an excellent job on NineBall's GTO making the liscence plate indention disappear

in my opinion it could go either way.the line in the hood kinda goes with the line in the bumper,even though the line in the hood is alot bigger.and the line in the hood is kinda old school like a first gen camaro cowl hood,and it also adds a little stength to the outer skin of the hood.and then again the hood without the line looks really good and flows with the car.i've been thinking about getting a vfn sonoco hood for my car also and cant make up my mind.i would say get the hood with the line.also for those of you who have one of these hoods how is the fit and finish?

I deff say with. Both mine and a friends are with and it looks awsome. The front bumper has the line in it and looks like it gets lost when you dont have it followed into the hood. Though I have to agree it would have been nicer if it was a little smaller. Hers is Black with a stock spoiler, mine is SSM with an LT1 SS spoiler. Mine is being painted and striped now. Here is Hers.

IMO,

LS1: With the line
LT1: Without the line

Some may say it looks plain w/o the line.
From just looking at pics on the net, I can see how one can come to such an un-educated, ill-advised meanlingless opinion

Only one company makes this hood, VFN. So you can get the best and worst deal since it's the only deal from them

Seriously though, it's a GREAT priced hood! Normal companies charge $600 and up for a hood. This hood is only $550 and WAYYYY better quality than most other hoods out there.

AND if you tell them you're from LS1tech you AUTOMATICALLY get a 10% discount

SO, any day of the week you can buy this hood (with or without the line) for $495 !!!!

Just go to www.vfnfiberglass.com
