Here is another picture of the same hood on the same car. Not me by the way. Also, this is not the same as the American Sportscar Design 97 Replica Ram Air hood; it is very similar but still, different.

Its not an American Sports Car Design hood, theirs has the scoops places farther back. I'm 99% sure its a Suncoast Creations ram air hood, and last time I checked they were like 700 bucks. I have that GMHTP issue, too. Is it just me or does that guy look like Adam Corolla from the man show?? :P

Well I took your advise Mike and looked on the year one web sight and it is a Suncoast Creations hood; only problem is that it costs $809.
For that kind of money I would think it would be made of carbon fiber. Thanks anyways guys. I think I will stick with the 97 replica.

I only like that hood on that car because the nostrils of the ram air part of the hood are so far towards the the nose.

i belive it is TA500 it costs considerably more than when i looked at it last i think it was only like 295 but that was a couple years ago when i was lookin at a 'bird instead of the 'maro i might have been a different company though because i dont remember it being a ascd part

hope this helps i'll keep lookin for you
