I wasnt sure if he was asking on the legality. As for looks, I think it looks pretty sick. Most cops wont even notice or care..unless you give them a reason too.

OP, Looks to me like you'll be ok legal wise. Looks sick!



Im not going to name and names... but my buddies VFN bolt on is SO huge, you can only see out the top of the 3-4" of the window. It actually lays ON the glass.

But you get a great view of the engine bay!!

Is it a sloped style hood? The regular 5" ones are massive, the sloped ones are only like 3" at the windshield. OP's is sloped.
