Waiting for Parts is poo...

Well about two weeks ago someone backed into my car with a pickup and destroyed my hood. So now I am stuck waiting for VFN to make my new hood. What really sucks is to paint the hood you have to paint the fenders and nose, esp with a metallic silver like mine. Also since I am having paint work done I am gonna change out my Spoiler. The hood is the VFN sunoco hood with Body line and the spoiler is RK Sport 93-97 SS spoiler.

Spoiler:

They make one for your '97 now too. Sooo nice and clean lookin. If you go to VFNfiberglass.com you can find it. I paid $570 to VFN and shipping will be like $120, just gotta pay the shipping company direct and find out total cost.

Yeah it will actually help you determine where your front end is Im short as well and I can see fine over my hood. Just curious why you opted for the older SS wing instead of the newer one?

I wanted the older SS since it will keep better with my Z28's style. It has a the profile of the newer SS which I like but the fact I get to keep my tail light I like. Plus the fact it doesnt have the two bars I kind of like. Its about as SS as I would want my car to look. I bought a Z28 and I wanna keep that as much as possible. I was never one for an SS. No offence to those guys but it doesnt fit me.

That was before the new motor and Cam too, lol. She has a forged LS2 402 with a T-rex cam now. She hit 430's on a base tune and we are still waiting on her Fast 90/90 setup. Spring time is Spray time also. The woman is nuts lol.
