Your hood would look great with the TS2 front by Corvette Creationz,,,,QuickZO6 here in the forum... I just got one those front fascias, not installed yet, but I will be converting the rad to front breather from bottom when it gets installed...and your extraction hood would be PERFECT to go along with it... I had figured that sooner or later I might have to cut and modify my stock hood because I have never seen any that I like from vendors...Yours is an inspiration! The side vents need to be either fully functional to let heat off the exhaust, or not there.... I like them, and if open, would do a lot to release heat off the top side of the engine. the center is BEAUTIFUL in the form and shape you sculpted, and would be the PERFECT way to dump the rad heat after I get my TS2 installed.... I WANT ONE!!!!!

I can't thank you enough for the compliment. I felt the same way that's why I made my own hood. I am making pretty much an entire body kit for the car. You did give me an idea for the side vents though. ...

Good fitment. Great paint job. Not a fan of the hood. The paint job really does look fantastic. Most "good shops" rarely match it that well.

Yeah my paint lady is awsome. Always spot on with color. I can't take credit for the color match but thanks

Default You Have no Vendor status and you have been warned

You can not use this forum and its membership to offer your products without having a vendor status. You have been warned countless times about this. Forum Vendors pay the bills here, and keep it free for the rest of us. You are disrespecting the paying forum vendors and the administration who have already warned you several times.

Maybe you should go read post #32 before going off the handle like that.

He said he wasn't a vendor or trying to sell anything but, modding his own car.

Lets keep it toned down here please....it was stated right off the bat that this was a personal project, not a commercial deal.... If the guy got enough support and intereest, who knows, he could make a deal with a panel producer and become an official supporter!? Please lets try to keep the foum on a positive tone and ENCOURGE innovatiuon and product development, and individual projects as well.

Sorry guys evil twin and his friend corvette08 are trying to delete my post again. Appearantly I'm not allowed to post pics of my car because I may want to sell something on the forum someday. I made it pretty clear I'm not selling hood but that's not good enough for some old guys that claim to have single handedly designed the c5 and the gm design facility is their personal garage. No names ofcoarse (bill) as a matter of fact instead of taking full credit for the c5 how about some of the blame for gms failures like the cavalier and the cobalt and the hhr and how about the entire saturn line.just because you retired from gm doesn't make you the the father of the corvette which was introduced in the 50s. Get a life and stop bothering me. Not everything is a plot or conspiracy . This post isn't for you or about you.
