Flat or low cowl hood
Hey guys
I have a firehawk with Joe Van Overbeek 5"cowl hood. I need a lower hood so I can drive it on the street. The cowl has been cut so I need one that goes back to the windshield and it has to be a lift off. I thought I would check in here to get recommendations for a quality hood.
Thank you!

I cant tell in your pic, but does the back of the hood go all the way to the windshield?
The more I look at things I don't think a flat hood is going to clear. I would really like one but a small cowl style is probably what I will have to go with for clearance.
Were you happy with VFN's quality?

Yes, it goes back to the windshield. I thought the quality was good. They were very concerned that I was trying to order a hood that wouldn't fit my car, but for what I wanted to do it was perfect. It is much larger than a factory hood, and I did cut it down on the front , both sides and the rear. I used Fivestar Bodies hood hinges at the rear so I can have a lift off hood and a hinged hood since I will be alone most of the time at the track.
Thanks again for your help.
