Default Cowl hoods.....

Anyone tried the Sunoco pin on hood from VFN? Any pictures??? Thinking about getting one and would like some info. Going to throw my LS project from my camaro into it with a Holley hi ram and twin turbo set up.

not sure if this is the same hood, but there was a guy complaining that the lightweight zeus? fastener hood would flop around like a pterodactyl on his road course car

..... VFN has the same hood that uses the factory hinges ... the real issue with the pin on hood is that it takes a minimum of two people to take it off and then where to put it that no one will step on it ..... In my opinion , its the nicest looking high rise hood for the C4 vette ... I would have one if it didn't cost as much as the purchase price just to ship it ... BTW the hinged hood is still pin down .....
