If your talking about the ones from Trufiber, they are SICK looking, but require ALOT of prep work, and finishing to come out good. My friend just installed one on his GT500. Looks incredible, but he said his body shop really had to work hard to get it to come out nice!

Cervinis here, body shop said it was not much more work than any other fiberglass hood, but more than an alum hood.
As for flutter, have had it up to 100+ with no problems, and no pins. Only time with flutter is passing an 18 wheeler, but whole car shakes then too.
Plan on getting hood pins for looks.

I second the comments on lots of prep time for the TruFiber hood. End result looks fab but lots of unplanned $$ to get there.

I'll ditto the Trufiber comment. Don't have mine anymore, but with the right body shop it will turn out beautiful!

I've had no shake at all with the DCF / Full Throttle Kustomz hood. Fitment took some time, but the results are worth it.
