Trufiber. If I cared about the internet's opinion I would have made a poll before I bought the hood

It was between the cowl hood or a useless SS hood that would have essentially made my car an SS clone.

Fitment could be better, but my stock hood was off in the rear corners too.

Fitment needs work. The front gap is the one I'd concentrate on since it is the most visible. Other than that, I like the hood.

And so what if your car would have looked like a clone with an SS hood??
