Anyone ever seen this hood?

It's made b a company called either Custom Corvette, or Corvette Express, I don't quite remember. we've cut out the rams, ad we're fabricating a duct system for it now. Weather-proofing is the hardest part of it lol. So lemme kow, have YOU seen this hood before?

All the time.They're in the back of Super Chevy and Chevy High Performance magazines there's an ad for them by a company called Motion Glass,sells for $299.99. If I were to ever get another 3rdgen camaro I was thinking of getting that hood for it.

Yeah I'm still not sure I like that hood.... it's just odd. Doesn't look horrible or anything though.

That is the hood I have on my Camaro.

See my web page for a few pics (not great ones).

It is a twin turbo hood. I bought mine at the Englishtown swap meet over 10 years ago from a company from PA that has a huge display there.

I got mine from motion glass. I bought it 4 years ago for $400. The hood didn't fit that well, I had to heat the front and sorta remold it so it would line up with my headlights.

Ahhh, okay lol. I was just curious because I've never seen the hood before this one. A buddy of mine's father had it on his V6. He wanted us to fix his horrible exhaust leak, and he said he'd trade hoods if we did. So we fixed the leak(the gasket was upside down lmao), painted the steel hood to match his car, and that was that. But thanks guys.
