Default Pics of 5" VFN Sloped WS6 Hood

Was wandering if anyone had any pics of this hood, on a car.
I'd really like to see from the inside of the car looking out.
I'd like to see how the hood extends to the windshield, also.

ls1speedaddict had one on his car, I'm sure he has some pictures somewhere. Maybe he'll see this and post one up.

I have some of there 5" sloped. I actually ordered the non sloped hood but once I got it in, it was the sloped. I called and they pretty much said that she verified it with me that I wanted the sloped hood which is bullshit because we are going to run a tall tunnel ram with 2 dominators and we were afraid that the sloped wouldnt work plus I find the taller hoods look badass. They were just trying to get out of shipping me the right hood I guess?? Anyways it dont look too bad I guess??

I've got the non sloped on my car but I also have some shots of the sloped version saved on my laptop. I'll get the up this weekend if no one else puts them up

FWIW: Be sure to check the gaps and fitment before you drill the holes, mine fits like **** and has huge gaps along the fenders and nose. And it's not due to the car, it's the hood

Thanks for the pics, hoods look great.
I kinda like the 5" non-sloped, but I think thats kind of overboard. And probaly to hard to see over.
How much prep work does the hood need before paint?

prep wasn't bad...just needed the usual sanding before primer. I also filled in the fake "cowl line" at the back since I thought it looked stupid

I don't see the back corners sticking up over your fenders. Do you happen to have a pic of what you did here or maybe just explain how you fit the hood. I just got one of these and it is obvious that the extended portion is designed to fit Camaro fenders. I've been trying to find ideas of what to do but haven't found any useful info. Thanks!

I'm starting to like the non sloped better and better.
How hard is it to see over. Can you still see the other lane at the track.
Also the pic from the VFN site, the black car looks like a 6" hood. Maybe not, but it just looks taller to me in the pics than a 5" hood.

From the other pictures I have saw of that car, it does not have the extensions on it.

I would love to get rid of mine and get the non sloped but I don't think it will clear the carb and breather. I can see the other track fine but there is a blind spot about three feet out off the right side of the car. I'm 6'2 so it's pretty easy for me to see over it
