Default New hood
Sorry for the dirty car, it's been sitting for 3 months and the hood needs paint and some more adjustments. But here it is.

Octane Motorsports/Trufiber 3" cowl?

I have the same hood and was surprised how light it is compared to stock, and how nice the fit was for how cheap it is.

I got my Sunoco painted for $100, although I knew the guy.
I just had to buy the GM black paint and he did the work for a bill.

A shop shouldn't charge much more then that.
I've seen quotes of $125-$165 give or take.

I love my VFN Sunoco.
Great quality fiberglass, awesome feel.

I wanted a hood I can see when I drive.
I liked the Ultra-Z hood but I needed something that vented air out.
