Alright so I will call VFN in the morning and see how long it will take. Then I'll call Glasstek. Who ever is the fastest will be the next hood on my car. Sounds good to me.

BTW: Thanks for all of the responses. I appreciate the help. Keep 'em comin.

I called VFN and they are on a 5 to 6 week wait time for the hood. I'm waiting to hear back from Glasstek now.

Yeah. The car goes in on Monday and Speed Inc said the hood should be here by Wed. I will be stopping threr before work to check the progress so I'll get pics. I tried VFN but like I said above 5-6week wait. And Speed had the Glasstek in stock. I heard good opinions about both and since I am in a bind with time I went with the Glasstek.

VFN = , at least in my dealings with them (personal opinion)

Don't know much about glasstek so I can not offer any advise there.

Once you get your hood, create a new thread showing them off! This thread is basically done with now that you have made your decision. To anyone else that wants to give feedback on VFN hoods: Check out the sponsor feedback section. You can post your feedback over there.
