    Has anyone used a fiberglass 70-72 GS hood? How are they as far as looks and fit?

    i recenty bought one from tamraz's part discountwarehouse and man am i kicking myself in the a$$ the fitment is horrible...hood sits up to high near the windsheild, seems to be molded wrong or something..still waiting on reply to see if i can send it back...side of the hood seems unevenly cut as the gap between the fenders get bigger,, i know yearone also sells a 70-72 GS bolton fg hood...hopefully theirs will actualy fit nice and just not simply bolt on :Dou: seems like mine is gonna need some trimming up top

    I have a VFN bolt on one. Just took the old one off and bolted the new one one on and it fit perfect. I did have to do work on the hood latch. They mold a metal part into where the it latches, but I added metal on both sides to prevent damage to the fiberglass and I needed to adjust the hood latch down and forward. Thanks Bill Sangser.
