I am thinking of doing a copo hood and i wanted to know your thoughts on what company i should go with as far as fit and finish and overall quality.

VFN or MPD1

Thanks

Why? You know the cowl is pretty big and not exactly made for street driving. Visibility (especially to the right) will be greatly reduced. It isn't safe for daily street driving.

I can harldly see over the stock hood.

Seems stupid to have a huge cowl with nothing under it. Sort of like having a fake hood scoop.

The best for fit, finish and quality is to go with the genuine article from Chevrolet Performance, you can buy an actual COPO hood:

I do not drive my car every day and I want to do it for one simple reason. I plan on doing a high rise intake like on the copo and need the room so it will clear.

As far as the OEM. There is no way i will pay $2000 for a hood.

I'm going to actually be of some help here and answer your question.

MPD1 has amazing products using top notch materials.
Fitment in all the products are perfect from what I've read.

VFN Fiberglass offers good products and competitive prices.
Fitment is good to.

Look into hardwood industries products. They offer some nice cowl hoods. In fiberglass and carbon fiber and fitment is good

Just want to add here.
At the end of the day it's your car, your project. Only opinion that matters is yours. Be it adding a cowl hood to a untouched engine or a 6 cylinder. It's yours, do what you want

+1 and I personally have a MPD1 Z-Force hood and the quality is excellent and a perfect fit. You won't go wrong with them.

I have the VFN hood, great fit, very little prep needed for paint.

We do have these for sale.

Cheveey57 · 11-26-2013, 07:33 PM

If you're not gonna " fill the bulge" why bother?

Here is a couple pictures of our COPO style.

I customized my Harwood Copo hood to help extract the heat from the turbo.

MPD1 Hood here.

My body shop guys were blown away at how little prep this hood took and they were all very impressed by the quality.
