I'm with the rest of them. I really like the Sunoco hood because you get that curve on the top of the cowl. You still get the effect of a 4"cowl with the vision of a 2" cowl out the windshield. VFM +1

I am not really sure what brand mine is, I got it off of a guy on here, over a year ago, in Va. Payed 300 for it, Repainted it, and it fit great. No problems with the fitment.

VFN will need some work- nothing aftermarket just fit right on the first time. I would suggest putting it on the car for two weeks then take it to get properly fitted and painted so that the fiberglass has some time to relax on the car.
