No one makes the Formula hood in fiberglass, however I remember seeing Motion Fiberglass (I believe that was the name of the company) has a fiberglass hood that is like the Formula hood, except it has the scoop not only on the driver's side, but the passengers as well. It's basically a Formula hood, with the scoop flipped to the other side as well. You can also buy just the fiberglass "powebuldge" and put it on a standard Firebird hood.

Hi. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry, but we currently do not have a picture of our formula hood, but it does look exactly like the pic that you sent here. Our bolt on version hoods will accept your front latch and your factory hinges. You will need to change your hood springs over to a lighter tension spring - we do sell these for $35.00 for the pair. Thanks! Jean

another update from the same guy.
Hello again. The hood will come in a black gelcoat and requires a light block sanding, prime and paint. Our hood is much lighter then the 75lbs - I believe our hood only weighs about 25 - so will save you much weight. Thanks again. Jean
