Once I get into my new house im going to start installing my 5" VFN WS6 hood using the racecraft Camaro dzus rails. Im going to try to do a write up because it really doesnt seem like much work to get them to fit and the look will be really clean.

well my hood is the extended version of the sunoco wide hood. It goes all the way to the windshield, my cowl has been removed as well as wipers etc. it needs to have the "ears" on either side of the hood secured or else they would flap around.
