I have a Motor City Mold CF hood on mine. Awesome fit and finish and one of the best looking hoods out there. Go to their web site for more info (www.motorcitymold.com).

Default Rims

FallenWhun,

I purchased the Ronal rims through Ken King of Vette Essentials. You can choose whatever colors you want.

Here is my old hood. It was a 3 inch rise and worked with my old supercharger. Not a bad hood for the money 1/2 price of MCM.
