Wow, what a bonzer bonnet! (Australian slang for "super cool looking hood")
One thing though, are you going to hood pin it? I would. There's two options that I'd suggest: Either get the locking pins from Summit, (which I use), or else get the fancy ones from Andris Skulte at www.skulte.com. They are called Aerocatch. VFN is nice but unfortunately flexible. I nearly lost my VFN hood at the top end of the track in 2005 at 140(ish) MPH. The hood buckled because of the massive pressure, and bowed up to the point where I saw daylight peeking out from the other side. It scared me and my driver's instructor so bad that we quit racing for the rest of the day until I could install the hood pins.

how is it bolt on if it extends all the way to the windshield?
i was gonna get the wide style till i realized that i would have to use hood pins and my car would look like a damn dragster. but looks good nonetheless. goes well with the drag wheels.
