If its half as nice as the bumper I got from them for my Chevelle, you'll be very pleased. I do like my Harwood hood though.

Ive sold some of their stuff before its really nice quality but I had a hard time trying to explain to the person on the phone what I wanted them to make I hope they got it right, by the time I pay shipping this hood is going to cost me over $800.........Way over my buget for a hood :smt021

We have a vfn nose, doors, trunk lid, and back bumper. Only complaints are 1 door had the inner laminated a bit off, pain in backside to fit in jamb, trunklid front corners bow up a bit. Thought quality was ok and cost fair. Just my 2 cents! Good luck with it.

The rear part is extra long so I can trim it to fit the angle of the windshield.

I'm thinking I'm gonna revamp my hood soon and have not made any decisions as to which direction to go. I'll keep these guys in mind.
