I'm not sure who sells it, but 10 years ago JC Whitney was the only place I'm aware of that sold it. That may still be the case.

Camaro Hood

I think its a Cervini. They are listed on the vendor review site. Web page is cervini.com. Nice looking hood, I wonder if anybody knows the quality.

The hood you linked to klumb15 is the Cervini's dual ram air fiberglass hood ( https://www.cervinis.com/shop/product.asp?id=13 )The one this topic is about is not made by Cervini's.. As far as I know the only thirgen hoods they make is the dual ram air and a 3" cowl..

search for "twin turbo hood" and youll find plenty about it

US body source carries them CERVINI DOES NOT

most think they are too 80s looking even though our cars were made back then go figure

i think they are pretty sweet looking

From what I remember they were(not sure the hood is made anymore)made by Motion Glass(may not be in buisness anymore ether),sold for $300-400.Their ads are usually in the back of HOTROD,Super Chevy and Chevy High Performance.

I have that hood on my TA. I bought it from JC Whitney about 7 yrs ago. I love the look of it. They do not sell it anymore. Yes it is called a twin turbo corvette style hood. I can't get to my pics right now but I will try to remember to post one or 2 later.

The "race weight" hood is almost $300 less than the "heavy duty". Does that mean ones lift off and the other is bolt on or what?

yea i would assume so...they are usually alot thinner, more flexible, less quality, and more than likely lift off...
