I got it on schedule and it fit right out of the box. We literally drilled the holes for the dzus fasteners and put it on the car, no trimming needed at all. They were very nice to deal with also, so I always suggest VFN when asked. [image]http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/nhramark1/library/Racing[/image] 9.100 @ 150 mph 5.780 @ 120 mph

Not sure the quality is that much better for the price. I've got a buddy who got a ton of stuff from VFN and has been very happy with it too. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

I have seen some VFN stuff, and like some have said, it can be dead on or need alittle work. I would go with Glasstek for the price you have listed. I have AAR on my car, but wouldnt hesitate to by the other 2 either. Actually VFN makes the decklid for my car, which will be a purchase soon enough. AAR is definitely heavier, but you can drive it on the street to and not be to worried.

They said what do expect, its fiberglass, live with it. Very thin, poor finish overall. I bought it from them and had it shipped here because everyone on here talked so highly of them. I could have drove to VFN or Glasstek, saved $$ and a better product.

I can tell you it is not flimsy as it is thick glass and heavy for a glass hood scoop as I think it weighs as much as the glass hood. But I like it as it is strong and wont bend. Maybe someone has an idea of what brand it is. It was given to me in return for a favor I did. Ron Last edited by 383man; 10/21/09 01:06 AM.

I want to get a lower front panel, upper front panel and fenders for an Ebody `Cuda Glasstek ends up costing 135 bucks more but maybe because VFN makes lighter weight parts? I know both are good companies. I have a Glasstek trunk lid and leaning towards them just want to justify the price difference thanks 73 `Cuda Instagram: @rylispro YouTube: RylisPro www.rylispro.com 925-214-9192
