Default 4'' Glasstek R/A Hood ?'s

Im very set on getting the said hood. I have a decent deal worked out for one, so Im going to get it. I was wondering if anybody had 1 or had any experiences with one? Does the size affect any drivability issues? Any input or experience would be great, or oppinions on looks. Thanks in advance!

i have a 4" cowl hood for my camaro from glass tek. i know its not a t/a hood but its pretty close. the hoods awesome i mean it does need some primer to make it straight and awesome looking, but what fiberglass hood doesnt? i just have to find time to get it on my car. the one thing is your going to have to trim the edges a bit to make it fit perfect because glass tek leaves a little material on the edges but its just so you can get the ultimate fit. my buddy has the cowl hood on his camaro and when you hit about 110 it feels a little unstable but still handles fine.

Very pleased with my Glasstek hood. A little unstable at high speeds but other than that I highly recommend Glasstek as your choice. A little hard to see towards the right fender but what the hell.

yeah i do a lot of business with tory over there at glass works. and as said before its a little hard to see the right front but it doesnt really matter that much. good luck with your hood and post pics of your car when its painted or atleast on your car. ill be posting progress pics when i start to tare my car apart.

Youll have to get pics of it up too Formula. Since we have the same car (Im sure diff colors) it would be good to see another one.
