I can't remember where I found this hood but I think it looks awesome. I like how the cowl part of the hood has nicely curved lines unlike some cowl hoods that have sharp straight lines which in my mind don't match the 4th generation f-body very well. I think it would look as good on trans ams as it does on this camaro. It would give another option to the limited styles of aftermarket hoods available for the 93-97 trans ams and could hopefully be produced.

Picture of the hood


also if anybody has any photoshop skills i would very much appreciate someone to put that hood onto the trans am in the link below.

 

If anyone likes that hood and wants to see it produced...
Layne at VFN is considering producing it but wants to find out consumer interest. Contact him and let him know you like the hood.

Hey ratio411, Is this guy at VFN considering producing it for the trans am? Also how is the quality of VFN hoods?

 

Is there anyone on here that can photoshop that for me?

 

I don't know the answer to that. Sorry.
His name is Layne and he is working on all sorts of stuff for our cars.
VFN has been around for decades. Alot of folks have their hoods, I haven't heard anything bad about them at all, but I haven't had one either.
They make fiberglass for lots of different cars, they also make complete fiberglass bodies.
Layne posts on LS1tech.com, I highly recommend contacting him and checking if you have questions.
Good luck
Dave

 

VFN is located in IL i believe as well...u could go stop in and talk to them as well

 

VFN is located in Addison, IL (Chicagoland), their number is 630-543-0232. I have their 4 inch cowl induction on my 95 Z and really like it.

 

That hood definately has smoother edge lines than mine.
Looks good.

Not sure if it will ever hit the market though.

 

Very sharp hood! I like it a lot.

VFN makes some great hoods. I stopped by their shop once while I was getting a dyno run at Street Stuff which is just half a mile away. The hoods are definately really light, but the bolt-on ones are probably 3 or 4 pounds heavier than advertised. Still, a 22 LB hood is still a LOT lighter than a 55 LB one. I'll probably get a stock-style bolt-on hood to take some weight off my front end.

Once I get my engine back together, that is....

Well, I sent VFN an e-mail about that hood. Here was their reply...

I thought the Harwood hood was a lot different than the one on that blue Camaro. Maybe it's just me...

Oh well...

Email them back and tell them they are full of it. The Harwood hood looks nothing like that. The only thing they have in common is that they are both cowl style hoods. Beyond that, not even close.
What is the email address? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks
Dave

 

, that hood looks awsome on that car, i especialy love the flares. I would buy that hood in a second.

 

Here is the e-mail address I used...

i would like to see it on an LT1 with maybe only a 1.5 cowl. i dont like the sharp edges on todays hoods.
