I was looking at the Harwood 3" but I don't like most of the pictures I've seen. I'm almost thinking of getting the VFN 4" now

maybe you should hold up and check a few out at a car show or something? its an expensive purchase, so try to get exactly what you want the first time.

and be prepared, if you believe in murphy's law, to receive your hood either dented, scratched, cracked, etc. check it out REAL good.
