Default VFN for the win!!

I ordered my Sunoco hood on Monday and knew it would take about 2-3 weeks to get it.

This morning the freight company called saying I had a package!

Wow, 2-3 week wait time dropped to 3 days! I had to call VFN because I thought someone was pranking me.

This hood is awesome. Now I just need to get it painted..hah

Tomorrow I will take pictures..it is too dark right now

One more thing. Of course when i get the hood home im gonna want to put it on the car. How hard is this to do for two guys who have never taken off or put on a hood before? Alignment doesnt have to be absolutely perfect for now, but i want to get the damn bent up stocker off the car lol
