does anyone have any pics of the sunoco style hoods on there car that goes up to the windshield. i am trying to deside on what hood to go with and i would like to see pics and get people opinion of them and how they fit.


thanks

i really like that hood as well... but have heard it doesnt fit well... hopefully someone can chime in!

 

Here you go....

 

did it fit ok or was there alot of moding that had to be done q

 

no it fit great, i didn't have any problems at all

 

My hood should be here any day now from what VFN said.. I will get pics as soon as I get it on the car.

I am not looking forward to mounting it thats for sure.. You can't use the regular zues fasteners brackets from what i can tell because the inside of the fender has that rail that sticks out about a half inch and runs from front to back of the fender. You need a flat spot to mount the "L" brackets that the Zues fasteners sit in. Most people on here make a rail out of round tubing and weld their Zues fasteners to it and then bolt the rails to the inside of the fender using the factory fender bolts. I wish someone would make me a set of rails and ship them to me.. I do not have the tools to make something like that..

 

i want to pin mine down

 

That hood is awesome, same one I want for my camaro.

 

There is nothing sexier than a black Camaro on Alumastars.

 

i only have prostars

 

this is before i pinned it on and the car is filthy from sitting. it is apart now but will be back together in a week or so. i will post new pics.

 

im gonna have to disagree and add bogarts to your statement as well.... but ofcourse im kinda bias! lol

 

where are u putting the pins

 

I got my from VFN and it fits pretty good but, I wish the very front of the hood was about an inch longer. I haven't really messed around with it but, I think I can pull the front nose up a little


Oh, Trakstars are the way to go

 

i would be pissed if it fit like that on my car... hopefully you can get it as close as possible.

 

You should be a lot better off, First of all my car is really a 93 and I just slapped that clip on without doing anything. Over all its a nice hood but, for $458.00 is hard to get over that inch

 

Yeah if it doesn't line up better than that they will be getting it back and you can bet on that ****..

 

That's wierd mine fits extremely well and doesn't have that inch gap like you have.

 

Paul you are local, Armando at VFN will help you out if it's a little short for some reason, give him a call (though they will help anyone with fitment issues). Since you changed the front clip from an LT1, make sure you adjust the sheetmetal first and make sure the nose is not sagging.

 

+1

VFN makes very good products. The body shop that painted mine said that they refuse to even work with most aftermarket hoods due to the horrible fitment. They were almost amazed at how well mine lined up.
