Yeah. I was expecting to pick up pieces. But as I came back on the return lane the safety guy was carrying one big piece. Being a full lift off it barely grazed the windhield and didn't hurt anything else, so I just strapped it down on there and drove home.
In those pics you can see just some stress cracks. VFN makes one strong *** hoods.

My original lock pin vibrated loose and flew off somewhere. Then I put a different one on. Well the video shows what happened to that pin. So I drilled a hole through the stud and put that gold lock pin on there and I hope that will hold everything on. lol That's just black electrical tape around the hole to keep it from getting scratched. I have some clear paint protector film i'll get around to putting there at some point.

I used 1/8 by 1/2 long rivits to go the the fenders with small washers on the bottom. You may want to go a little longer because mine barely caught the washers.

I was hoping it would turn into a good one. I looked through a ton of thread with almost no pics. My hood is being made, once I get it ill install it and may try a how to thread on adapting the racecraft camaro rails.
