Default VFN vs VanOverBeek Hood difference

I need some pictures of the VFN Sunoco Extended to windshield, and the Vanoverbeek "Ray Sanchez" hood.

This the hood Im talking about......
http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...amaro_feature/

The main reason for this thread is to find out if the VanOverBeek hood covers the cowl like the VFN Sunoco Extended to windshield.

Thanks for any help..........

If you look close by the door mirrors/windshield you can see you have to make a peice unlike the VFN.

I have a VFN Sunoco hood. It has taken alot of body work and trimming to get it half-way decent.

I have the VFN sunoco extended and it is gonna need alot of fitting to look right... I really like the Joe Van O hood, but I got a SMOKIN deal on this one and don't mind the fitting issue since the whole car has to be painted anyway.

If you have the time get the Overbeek hood. I charge alot more for mounting the VFN stuff. The Overbeek goes right on with little trimming.

Joe O makes jewelry plain and simple. His fit and finish is miles past VFN on their best day.

Joe Van O makes it in pin on and bolt on in Fiberglass, CF and CF/Fiberglass mix. Unless Stenod has one at the shop (which he likely does not have) then he'll get a hold of Joe Van O. His back log that I was aware of a month or two ago was over three months. The backlog is not easily influenced unless you are buying an entire car and stuff a few dozen extra Franklin's in your deposit. That basically means if you're getting a hood, wing, etc. you get it when you get it. That's simply the way he works.
