Who Makes This Hood?

Here is an old picture of my cowl induction hood when I was test fitting it on my car.

Right now the car is in the bodyshop so the hood will actually be on the car in the next week or two with a matching paint job, but I was hoping someone here could tell me what manufacturer this cowl induction hood is.

When I bought it from the guy off craigslist, he had it advertised as a "4 inch outlaw cowl induction hood", and I never bothered asking him who the manufacturer was.

The thing I really like about this hood is how the cowl starts right at the front edge of the hood and evenly comes up ending with the contour of the windshield.

Interesting. I thought all Harwood hoods had the style of scoop that chops off at the end going straight up instead of contouring the windshield. This is a BIG pet peeve of mine with cowl induction hoods. I think that style looks really awkward.

Something about yours appears different. The edges of the cowl scoop appear thicker. Mine are more slender and "sharper".
