I have a new VFN fiberglass 6 barrel hood for my 69 road runner, which I also bought their "lightweight" springs. I did not get the lift off style as I wanted the hood to open normally. Unfortunately, their springs came chromed and the paint guy says he could not paint them.

Can I use the AAR or T/A (says T/A hood springs are different) hood springs for my fiberglass hood? I found some repros on ebay and am curious if anyone else has used them on a b body hood. The chrome ones on the car now look like crap. Here is the link to the ebay units.
