Default is the VFN 3" SS hood functional??

I have the stock GM SS Hood on my car.. im getting bored of it.. i was thinking about selling it and possibly getting the VFN 3 in SS Hood or the Sunoco hood.. im not sure which one would look better.. anyway i have 2 questions..

If i were to sell my stock GM SS hood... it's in great condition just wondering what would be a good price to ask for it..

and as the title says does anybody know if that hood is functional?

OEM replacement SS hoods range from $1300-$2000 plus.If yours is in good shape, $500-$700 would be reasonable. VFN's are the way to go, unfortunately I ended up going with a stock hood as the wait for VFN was too long and I needed to get the car out of the shop.
