Check with Rick's Camaros. He's got a selection of fiberglass hoods. I personally prefer the original steel hood.

The idea is to have a stock look but lighter. You just prefer a heavier hood?

Anyway I couldnt find one when I looked. You can find plain flat hoods, but not ones that you can put louvers/blisters on.

The answer is yes. Ask Mr. IROC he is a COTM winner and runs a CF hood with louvers.

I've been looking for a fiberglass iroc hood for some time as well. A guy on here claims someone makes them, but he doesn't want to tell me who.

The only thing I've seen come close is Harwood's Daytona hood that has the IROC recesses in the scoop.

They are calling that a Sunoco Hood?????

That is not even close to a Jongbloed design aka sunoco huud. Its just a rediculous "outlaw" style cowl induction that is a little bloated in the middle.
