Here's your chance to jump on this bud! Get me a pic of that hood actually on a car and make me buy it!

Unfortunately we currently do not have any pictures available of this particular hood on a customer's car - the design is fairly new, and although we have sold quite a few of these hoods, we have not received any pics in yet.
If you go with the other company, just keep in mind that they are not a sponsor of this board, so if you have any problems with their product, it can be more difficult to get them fixed.
Also, because they are not a sponsor, they do not give ls1tech members a 10% member discount on their parts - like we do.

If you think the 4" ones are big, you should see the 6" I have on my 72 Camaro.

I like the VFN cowls but for the LT1s it still retains the indents like on the stock hood. And for that reason im looking at a Glasstek..

Okay you sold me...VFN it is! From what I can tell, it looks damn near identical to the Glasstek, except for the curvature where it meets the windshield and I can live with either. There isn't a long wait time is there? I will be calling in the morning.

The cowl is longer (closer to the windsheild) thats why i like it. I will look way better once its mounted (pin on) and my car is painted.

That statement is insinuating that you seen bad VFN products?
