Who makes the best hood on the Market?

Check: USbody.com , Glasstek.com , Up22.com Those are the 3 I know of. I have a 4 3/4 cowl hood and it fits OK but fits its purpose.

I think usbody makes the best fitting and finished hoods. I have a up22 hood and it needed body work and the underside comes unfinished.

I had a VFN on my last 4th gen. Fit and finish was great!

VFN pin-on

The fit was easy and the finish was very nice, didn't need lots of preparation

I had a Glasstek pin-on and now have a bolt-on Unlimited. The quality of the Galsstek was much better :yes:.

$259, Price is right, but then there's shipping . . .

Mine is from US Body Source in Florida. It needed to be blocked and one low spot on the front filled, otherwise fit was great. The underside is finished and it is a bolt on. At $589 plus shipping it was not cheap, it is not light either, about 20 pounds less than a stock hood.
I like that there is no bulky looking bracing under it.
The car has been driven at 130 mph on a closed course and the hood was not ripped off so the bolt on points must be solid.

This is a hard decision only thing I can decide on is the cowl hight be around 4 inches.

I kinda like the way the VFN hood slopes in the front.
