98-02 Camaro VFN Cowl Pin-On Hood Looks just like this:
http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/002cams.jpg
Never used. No work done on it. No damage at all. Just like it arrived from VFN.
$200 (I don't remember how much I paid, but it was something like that plus shipping).
$50 more gets you the new-in-bag Harwood DZUS kit that I have. ($66 at Summit)
$15 more gets you the new-in-bag Hood Lock kit (that has 2 keyed locks).
So $265 takes it all. I don't want to separate until the hood sells.
Posting in here because I do not want to ship. Delivery to DFW area is possible (the HEB-Irving/Grapevine area is where my inlaws live, and we are going up there soon).

Thanks for the offer, but the SS hood isn't light enough unfortunately.
I would consider a trade for a bolt-on fiberglass hood though. Small 2-inch cowl (or less) or Sunoco style. Light damage (chips etc) is OK, as I'll be painting it anyway. No cracks tho.
I am doing this as weight reduction / appearance, but decided that I don't want to do a pin on hood, I'd rather do a bolt on.
Thanks guys!

The hood is indeed still available, and it's currently in Waco. I may be headed to Bedford this weekend, and then I think we're going to Irving around Christmas time (and I could bring it with me either trip).

Have some interest, but no money yet. 
My trip to Bedford isn't happening this weekend, so no trip to DFW for me this weekend. (I'm not desperate enough to sell it to drive all over the state - hey, I think it's a good deal if you pick it up! I did the hard part - getting it to Texas 
).
Here are some pictures. It's dusty because I've had it since... May? June? It's been sitting on an out of the way high shelf in my shop.

Should be fine as long as it's affixed properly.
Check out these hood mounting rails that Madman put on this car:

That's the way I was thinking about doing it. You don't want to put the dzus mounts through the plastic fenders... the hood WILL rip through the plastic and fly off.
You need to attach the dzus mounts securely to metal.
