Used to see hoods like that on the old Maco Shark Vettes in the 70's.
I don't like it for a 3rd gen...

Just looks like the Daytona hood with the 82-84 Z/28 inserts instead of the louvers.

look at the Louvers though.

And I've only seen 3, that one, some other one on the interwebs, and the one I just bought :P, in stock form, I agree it looks a little wierd, but somebody modified the one I found, it has recessed triangles near the front corners, I'll try to upload a pic later, but I think without them its got too much going on in one spot...just my
And also I am curious who manufactured them....because they do seem quite rare, and yeah it is more or less a turbo bulge/daytona hood, but with early z28 style inlay instead of the louvers.

To each his own, just not for me. I prefer the stock blisters or a SS style hood, makes for a much cleaner look.
