WOW I can't belive all the bashing going on. The most asked question on this forum is about fiberglass and where to buy. WS usally got very few if any negative comments. Now they are coming out of the wood work.
whoo boy, you sure opened up a can o worms, but i think we're all glad you got a good piece.
This thread is reminding me of the ones bout GER convertors. Despite everybody finding them to be junk, a few lucky souls actually liked the ones they bought!

There stuff is race stuff. Its not quality,
Let me fix that....
I actually stopped bashing them at every opportunity because I got flamed with the old "it's race quality" (bs), "They are good guys" (not to me!), and "they made mopar stuff when noone else did" (so what?). Bottom line is they ripped myself and many other off. While they may be nice people they are lousy glass layers and even worse businessmen. Say what you will, facts are facts.

RACE stuff can and SHOULD be quality. Now it is EZier to make a HEAVIER part more "quality" ...as has been shown by one company mentioned here.
But then this company makes their stuff with white gel-coat. That HIDES a bunch. And then they also PAINT many of their parts on the underneath.
BEWARE of that practice...from any supplier.

Everytime I see one of these fiberglass threads it makes me glad I bought my hood from VFN. I got it on time, on budget, and no surprises. I took my VFN hood out of the box and we set it right on the car. The ONLY thing we did to this hood was to install the Dzus fasteners. NO BODYWORK. I once got fooled into buying a "cheap" fiberglass rear bumper for my car from some crappy company in Florida. I had it painted with the car and then found out it was about 4 inches wider than the car. So I painted my stock bumper and the glass bumper has been sitting in my garage rafters ever since. Cheap is not cheap at all if it falls apart or never fits in the first place.

FWIW, My decklid took little to no work to prep it for paint The hood only needed the scoop seam smoothed (I told them to leave it that way) as well as smoothing the imprint of the R/T decal that was molded into it.
Both fit nicley before they went to the body shop for paint.
I hope your luck is as good as mine was.

Good luck with that....Of course you can drive over that might help a lot. I waited 9 months for a hood from those guys. One excuse after another. When it showed the shipping was double what I was quoted and the hood well lets just say it was not the best I have seen. One pass and here is what I got for my almost $800. I fixed it up correctly and once we got done putting it back together and making it fit correctly it looked nice 
Almost exactly the same experience I had. Their customer services is HORRIBLE!
