Symmetrical "Power Bulge" Hood-anyone have pics?

Awhile ago I saw a post that displayed a hand-drawn depiction of an 82-84 power bulge hood, except the bulge covered both sides of the hood instead of just being on the driver's side. I thought it looked pretty unique. Couldn't find it when I searched, could whoever has this picture post it again?
And if anyone knows, is this still available somewhere? Thanks for any info.

I don't know about a sketch, but i came across this awhile ago on a website, but i can't remember the site, sorry

I thought about getting one for my 83. But I think I'll keep the normal turbo(or bulge) hood. I wonder if the symmetrical one is functional or not.

Thanks 83 T/A Dave, that's it, the IMSA hood. I gotta find out where I can get one.
I was set on keeping my original, but a modest upgrade like this one i'd like even better.
That's exactly what I had in mind, but I remember seeing a drawing that looked almost just like a blueprint for the thing, with corresponding decals on it, too. (anyone else care to step forward?)

Thanks Mark406. I'm gonna look for a contact # or website or whatever for them, but could you post their number or site just incase I can't find 'em, if you have it?

Incase anyone cares, the Motion Glass Tech Line no longer exists.
The lady on the orders line was very helpful though.
I think when I go back to NY to visit my family i'm going to take a field trip with the truck and pick up one of these.
