Fiber glass hood poll

Hey guys. I've been looking around the after market hood scene. And I've only seen a couple of hood for Camaro's. I've got a 1991 Camaro Z-28. As most of you know it came with the wing and the hood with the ferrari style bubbles.
I wanted to know if anyone besides me wants an after market hood made of fiber glass like this hood?
I wa thinking rather then wishing and hoping maybe if theres enough people interested we could convince one company to start making them.
Let me know what you think.
Chris

Double Bubble

Well guys I talked to George Ostrom at GTA auto. He said all we need is at least 20 people before he'd make it in glass.
Is anyone interested?

Come on. I want to here what you guys think.
If theres enough people intested someone will make them.
Oh and 89RagTopRS Your right, but it never hurts to shave off a few pounds here or there. Also I don't know if anyones like me but I don't want to drill any holes in my factory original hood.

who sells glass fenders? by the way, chrisman your camaro is very nice, i would think you'd get more of a gain from a cowl induction hood, but you cant beat the look of the stock 91-92z hoods
