Except I want to know who's hood looks the best underneath on the bottom side of the hood? I don't want to be able to see any of the fiberglass fibers......

 

how about pics of the undersides of some hoods?

 

VFN make a nice fiberglass cowl hood. However, my VFN is not finished/smooth on the underside. But, that could be because I only paid $208 for the hood They most likely could smooth it out on the bottom if they wanted to.

I can never keep the brands straight but personally I like the 2" cowl that doesn't have the line running down the center. I know I've seen them on ebay. Anyone know what the heck I'm babbling about to help him out?

EDIT: sorry I didn't read the whole post I have no idea what the underside looks like

From the pictures I've seen, my vote is for the ASCD hood. It seems to be simple and to the point - I like the clean look.

EDIT: I don't know what the underside looks like, though

brent, i actually was thinking of a hood like yours because i like the fact that it kept the body lines to the heat extractors. i eyeballed the underside of yours when you opened it at the gathering. i was thinking of the u.s.body one, but people really don't have a lot of nice things to say about them. does anybody have any idea of who else has a hood with a finished underside.

 

I think the Harwood cowl hood is the best...the area that is raised is not narrow like the others..its very wide and looks great!

 

I second the Harwood. The cowl follows the original heat extractor lines of the stock hood, so it starts out narrow, and gets wider as it goes up the hood. Looks awesome.

Is there a site that has the VFN hood for sale?


EDIT: nevermind i found it but,Brent did you get the bolt on or pin on and if it was pin on how did it work if you wanted to open your hood?

Brent, off-topic here, but what does your blown Z do in the quarter? What about the SS's times?

If I didn't have my SS hood I would definately buy this one or the DG motorsport hood thats on the GM ZL1 camaro.

i have the harwood cowl hood and i love it. It is finished underneath, no fibers showing at all. you can even use the heat mat from your original if you so choose. IMO it is very high quality. good luck

 

any pics of the bottom of the harwood? i really like the smooth look of it!

 

Brent did you have the pin on hood or bolt on and if you had the pin how how did you rigg it to open?
