I have no idea what the going price is for them. You should be able to swing a good deal on the classified board. I am not a big fan of that hood, but unless its a Iroc, I would go with the blisters. Just my opinion.

Re: Who makes this hoood?

louvers are discontinued so new ones will cost you. you can get them off ebay priced any where from $50 - $200 depending on condition and stuff. got a set of 91-92 blisters for my car for $100.

Re: Who makes this hoood?

I have one of those on my 1992 Firebird, and it was made by a company called American Sports Car Designs. I think it was also called the Daytona hood. I don't know if this company is still in business or not.

Here is the hood on my F-bird.

With any fiberglass hood it is a good idea to pin them
